Two and a half years ago
"For gods sake Oliver, I knew you'd get us lost" Gaby moans in the drivers seat to Oliver who was holding a map next to her.
You were sat in the back with Benedict and Bonnie, keeping your mouthes shut but smirking at each other every now and again.
You had all been stuck in traffic for about an hour and a half and it was starting to cause arguments- obviously you found this funny.

"It's not my bloody fault that you don't understand what left and right means" Oliver snaps back, looking out of his window.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Gaby asks with a tone. You turn to Benedict and try to contain your laughter as he raises his hands mocking Gaby.

"It' means that when I say that you turn left at the end of the road, you turn left not right- it's common sense" he replies. Gaby huffs.

"Maybe you should drive then if I'm so crap"

"I never said that you were bad at driving, I'm just saying that you don't have the best sense of direction, that's all" Oliver replies, sighing. You shuffle back in your seat.

"So your saying I'm thick?" Gaby asks.

"No I'm just-"

"Just pack it in, your not twelve- were stuck in traffic and I would really love it if we could talk about something nice or put the radio on instead of argue over dumb shit please. Thank you" Bonnie weighs in casually. The car was then silent.

"So Y/N, what animals do you want to see the most?" Benedict asks you. You raise your eyebrow but he widens his eyes for you to carry on the conversation to kill the silence.

"Erm, probably the giraffes, what about you?" You ask, catching onto what he meant. Benedict shrugs.

"Don't know" he replies casually. You roll your eyes before he realises

"Probably the elephants" he adds.

"Why elephants - they're boring" Bonnie asks.
Benedict shrugs and smirks.

"They remind me of Y/N" he replies, nudging you playfully. You smack his arm playfully

"Dick" you reply. Benedict laughs.

"If I was an elephant I'd crush you pal" you add, laughing slightly. Benedict smiles at you, obviously knowing that you wouldn't take it to heart.

"Put the radio on Oli" Benedict calls to Oliver. Oliver nods and smiles through the mirror before putting it on.
You look at the screen on the dashboard.

James Blunt- Beautiful

All of the girls in the car suddenly awe but Oliver and Benedict sigh deeply.

"You can't say that you don't love this song" Gaby says , swaying to the introduction.

"It's just too sappy" Oliver replies, sticking his tongue out in a sort of "ew" way.

"You life is brilliant, your love is pure, I saw an angel of that I'm sure-" you sing, leaning onto Benedict's shoulder playfully. He shrugs you off but smiles as you continue to sing to him.
