You and Tom has been friends ever since you were kids. You were always the adventurous type, hiking, climbing rocks and always willing to try something new. Tom tagged along on almost every adventure. He being a nervous Nelly, would remind you to be careful or advice you not to do something. But you would never listen.
Tom was back home from filming a movie and you suggested going out on a nice day for a hike. He accepted but knew it wouldn't be just a peaceful walk in the woods with you. The day came and he picked you up from your little apartment. You answered the door and attacked him with a hug. "Hey Tom! I've missed you so much you have to tell me everything about your filming" "Hello (Y/N) I've missed you too. I'll tell you all about it in the car. Are you ready to go?" he says just as you kick up your backpack. "All ready" you say with a giggle. He opens the car door for you like the gentlemen he is. "Tom really? You don't need to open the door for me. I'm not one of you're fancy dates" you say as you playfully shove him. "Oh hush" he says as you get in and he swats at your butt playfully. The attraction is there but you are too close and don't want to mess up what you already got.
As you two drive Tom tells you all about filming. You love it when he talks about his career. You were always supportive of him, not missing a play he would be in or texting him out of the blue long messages about how proud you were of him for achieving his dreams. "Wow Tom things sound like they are going amazing for you. I'm so proud and happy for you." He thanks you as he kisses your hand. "So enough about me, what's new with you (Y/N)?" You tell him about work, school and your horrid new neighbor who has loud parties almost every night.
"We're here!" you exclaim as tom pulls into the trail-head parking lot. "Just promise me no rock climbing please" tom says with concern in his voice. "No promises big boy" you say as you adjust your backpack to fit comfortably for the hike. You two head into the woods ready to seek out a new adventure. You were really smart when it came to identifying trees and Tom asked you if you could teach him. "Of course!" you say with a giggle. "This one is a White Oak. It has really light bark and oak leaves." "Seems easy enough" he says and all you could do is laugh. You knew how long and how much studying you had to do to be able to ID trees. "What are you laughing about (Y/N)" "Oh nothing" you say between laughs. "OOOOOO this is my favorite tree!" you say as you pull Tom to the edge of the stream. "This is a Cottonwood, it's my favorite because it looks like a Marvel character" "Well I don't remember turning into a tree when I played Loki" he says with a straight face. "No silly it looks like Groot." "Oh wow it really does" Tom says.
After teaching him a few more trees you reach a huge cave. "Wow this is beautiful" you both say at the same time. "Jinks!" you say as you run towards the cave. "You better not climb that (Y/N)" he says out of breath from chasing after you. You pull out some climbing ropes from your backpack and flash him a cheeky smile. You begin climbing while Tom watches full of worry. "(Y/N) stop you're going to fall" he says in a tone that sounds like hes really upset. "Fine I'll come down"you say as you let go of the rock. "Oh my god (Y/N)!" he says and runs over to catch you. You slowly repel down and land softly in his arms. "You scared me. Don't ever do that again" he says and you can tell he's mad. "Sorry I thought it would be funny"you say as he puts you on the ground. "Well it wasn't." Tom says crossing his arms. You try to hug him but he just turns away. He's never been this mad before. "I think its time to go now." he says. You sheepishly nod your head and follow behind him.
You get back to the car and quietly get in. You spend the drive in silence. He pulls up to your house and you ask if he would come in for some tea. Tom accepts and you bring him into our apartment. You make some Earl Gray and put cookies on a tray. You two quietly sip your tea when tom finally said something. "I was so scared (Y/N)" "I know I'm sorry Tom" "Why would you do that?" "I don't know" "What if something happened to your cord" "I don't know what would have happened" "I don't know what I would do if I lost you (Y/N)" "What?" "You are like family to me, I would probably fall apart if something happened to you. Promise me you will never do that again" "I promise tom" "Good now come here so I can hug you since you offered one earlier."
You jump out of your chair and run over to Tom. He pulls you into his lap and cuddles with you for a while. "You promise (Y/N)?" "Yes Tom I promise" you say as you kiss his forehead.
