Insomniac

Hand in Hand

Sitting around the table, Charlie picked at her French toast with her fork. The restaurant owner was incredibly generous and gave them a separate room away from the public. It wasn't until her phone buzzed that she perked up a bit. Reaching forward and pulling it off the table, she checked on the notification and smiled seeing Thomas's name roll across the screen.

Within seconds she had it unlocked and was reading the message.

So today before your conference, want to walk around comic con a little bit?

Typing fast and to herself, she looked across the table and locked eyes with him.

Yeah, I would love too! I haven't even gotten the chance yet so that would be great.

He nodded and locked eyes with her before responding.

Alright we will later. By the way, you look very nice today:)

Instantly she chuckled.

Sap.

Then, sliding her phone back into her pocket, she kept on eating while the others continued conversing.

The place was packed just like yesterday. Bright costumes and loud noises sounded from each passing person as Charlie admired the scene from behind the curtain. "You know." Thomas's voice sounded from behind her causing her to jump backwards. "If you wanted to go out now you could have just told me."

Rolling her eyes she went back to looking out the curtain. "No, you looked a little busy with Dylan. I could wait."

"Well luckily you don't have to anymore." He smiled. Upon hearing his words she turned around to face him. "You ready to go?"

Nodding she pulled the hems of her sweater over her hands. "Yeah."

"Nervous?"

"More so don't want to be crowded."

"Well here." He took off his baseball cap and put it on her head. Then, grabbing the hood from behind her back, he pulled it up so she was somewhat covered. "If we get seen, then we'll make our way back here. No harm no foul."

"What if they recognize you?" Charlie quirked an eyebrow.

"Please." He chuckled. "They won't know my name until next year. For now, we need to keep you MIA."

Letting out a breath with a nod, Charlie re-gripped her hood and waited for Thomas to join her side. Soon enough, they were both stepping out into the chaotic world of comic con. However, before they were fully engulfed in the madness, Charlie reached forward and this time, she laced their fingers together with his. Hand and hand, they soon blended into the crowd around them.

Chris Hardwick seemed to be the most excited for the panel out of everyone. To the Walking Dead Cast, the guy was like their official announcer. So before they took stage, each had to get a selfie with the guy. It was kind of his trademark thing. Norman of course, had to lick him while doing it.
