It was Gallys 21st birthday and the boys decided that they needed to take him out. All Gally did was work and the boys felt he needed some fun in his life. After a long fight back and forth of 'I don't want to go' and 'you never have fun' Thomas and Newt finally won.
"Where are we even going?" Gally asked annoyance already present in his voice.
"Gally we just got out of the bloody house, will you relax a bit" Newt shot back quickly. He did not want to hear him complaining all night, he wanted the boy to just have a good time.
They walked about two blocks from there apartment to a local club. The club wasn't packed but it wasn't empty either. The man at the door checked there ID's and then let them in. They hadn't realized until they came inside that a band was actually playing tonight.
There were about 50 people packed around the stage singing and dancing along to the band. Newt went up to the bar to get a round of drinks. Meanwhile Thomas and Gally sat in the back of the club listening to the band.
"Okay man, if you could talk to any girl here tonight who would you pick?" Thomas asked Gally looking like he was up to no good. Thomas and Newt both had girlfriends. They tried to set up Gally with girls before but it never worked out. Gally wasn't very good with girls, he was shy and awkward.
"Not this again Thomas" Gally sighs throwing his hands in the air. He rolled his eyes and put his attention back onto the band. Thomas wasn't giving up on the subject though.
"I'm just asking... Hypothetically" Thomas lied. Thomas and Newt were on a mission to try and find Gally a girlfriend tonight. No matter how hard it was going to be, they would find someone for him.
"I don't know man, maybe her?" he pointed to a girl in the back. Her back was towards the boys, she was busy dancing and singing along with the band. Thomas eyes scanned the girl. She looked very familiar. He started walking towards her.
"THOMAS DON'T YOU DARE" Gally yelled. But it was too late. Thomas threw his hand towards Gally, motioning for him to shut up. Before Gally knew it Thomas was standing behind the girl.
He tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around. It took a second for the light to adjust and then they both smiled. The girl hugged Thomas hard and he hugged back. Gallys eyebrows rose as he watched Thomas hugging her.
"I thought that was you Y/N" Thomas said after they released each other from a hug.
"What are you doing here?" Y/N asked with a big smile on her face. She was happy that she had seen someone she knew. Earlier in the night her and her friends had made plans to come to the club and see the band but at the last minute they canceled on her and she decided to go anyway. It was her favorite band so she decided she would suck it up it would be worth it.
"It's Gally's birthday so me and Newt decided to take him out." He replied pointing back to the table where Gally and now Newt stood. Gallys heart dropped. He couldn't help but to panic and wonder what Thomas was saying and why he was pointing. He picked up a drink menu and covered his face pretending he was reading it.
"That's really nice of you Thomas" Y/N said before turning back towards the band. Thomas stayed put watching y/n as she danced and sang along to the band. He couldn't help but think she is a perfect girl for Gally. She's full of life and always has a smile on her face, just what he needs in his life.
"Do you want to come and hangout with us? Or are you with people?" Thomas asked looking around at the people near her, none of them seemed to be with her. That's a good sign.
"Yeah" Y/N replied. Thomas just nodded, rubbing the back of his neck before he started to walk away. Y/N grabbed his arm and giggled. "Yeah as in, I'll come hang out with you. I'm not with anyone" she chimed. This made Thomas smile. Now he had to come up with a plan to make Gally ask her out.
They reached the table where Gally and Newt were. "Hey Newt!" Y/N beamed walking over to hug him. Thomas and Y/N were next door neighbors and have been friends all their lives. Thomas always runs into Y/N whenever him and Newt go out so she had met him plenty of times already.
"You must be Gally, I am Y/N. Happy birthday!" Y/N yelled looking over to Gally. She observed the boy watching him. He was so shy and she could tell. She stuck out her hand to shake his.
"T-thanks, nice to meet you" Gally said taking Y/Ns hand to shake it. Her hands were soft just like Gally had imagined. His heart rate sped up. He was beginning to sweat. Lost in his thoughts he finally realized that he had shaken her hand way longer than you're supposed to. He quickly let go of her hand feeling embarrassed and took a sip of his beer. She just giggled.
Thomas had yet come up with a plan. He needed Newts help.
"Hey Y/N want a beer?" Thomas asked looking for an excuse to leave the table. Maybe if he left them alone Gally would be forced to talk to y/n.
"Sure that would be great" she replied, Thomas nodded. "Newt come and help me will you?" he asked not giving Newt any choice because he was already dragging him towards the bar.
The band finished another song and took a 5 minute break. Y/N turned back towards Gally and smiled. He was very quiet. The whole time the band was playing he couldn't help but smile watching y/n dance and sing along. She was not only beautiful but so vibrant and free.
"So do you like the band?" She questioned trying to get Gallys attention. His mind was obviously elsewhere. His eyes met hers and he nodded. y/n couldn't help but wonder why he was so quiet. Was it her? Or was he always this quiet? And where the hell was Thomas and Newt with her drink? She started fidgeting with her hands and looking around the club. Gally noticed and could tell she was uncomfortable. He knew he needed to stop being so shy and talk to the girl before he lost his chance.
"So... do you come here a lot?" Gally asked surprised that he actually got words out and didn't sound like a complete shank. He started feeling more confident in himself.
"Not really. My friends usually drag me along when they go out but tonight I really wanted to see the band." She replied feeling more comfortable standing at the table with the boy.
"Same here. They actually dragged me here tonight" Gally chuckled pointing to Newt and Thomas who were still at the bar. They saw y/n and Gally look over and went wide eyed before waving. They looked like they were up to no good.
"It's your birthday! They shouldn't have to drag you to go out!" y/n exclaimed. Pushing him in the shoulder. He was getting more comfortable and confident talking to y/n, everything felt so natural.
"I would go out with them more it's just every time were out they try and play match maker." Gally ranted. Y/N's eyebrows raised and she tilted her head towards the boy.
"So is that why I am here and the boys are still over at the bar?" She questioned. Now everything was making sense. It didn't take a genius to put it together. Plus how long does it take to order a beer? "What shanks" she whispered shaking her head.
Gallys face turned a crimson red and he was embarrassed. He was cursing his friends under his breath. Y/n noticed and sent the boy a small smile. "It's okay Gally. Thomas wouldn't have brought me over here with those intentions if you weren't cool. I don't mind. "
Y/n's words made Gally relax a bit. That's when he realized that she is the only one who has ever calmed him down before. What is going on? Why does this girl have such an effect on me? Questions flooded his mind.
"Fuck it" he mumbled. Y/n looked at Gally confused. "Y/n I think you're a really cool girl and I was wondering... maybe would you like to go out on a date with me?" the words fell off his tongue so easily and for the second time tonight he was surprised at how natural he sounded.
The band started playing again catching y/n's attention. Gally frowned thinking she was brushing it off. She turned back around, smile on her face "Yes, I'd like that" she replied. "This is my favorite song I'm going to try and get closer then I'll come back" she yelled over the loud music before making her way through the crowd of people.
Gally was left dumbfounded with a big grin on his face. He was glad she went closer because he probably looked like a fool right now. Thomas and Newt rushed back over to the table. "What happened dude? Where did she go?" Thomas questioned searching for y/n. He was really hoping Gally didn't blow his chance.
"I asked her out and she said yes. Now get off my case!" Gally demanded. His smile crept back onto his face. Thomas's jaw dropped and eyes lit up. His arms then flew into the air "WOOOOOH. WOOOOOOOH MY BOY DID IT!!!" Thomas yelled out feeling extremely happy for his friend.
