Asa Butterfield x reader (Tend to the Flames)

Florida: Part II

Do you guys see the picture above? Hint, hint. *wink*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Y/N's POV)

Asa and I walk awkwardly next to each other, watching Fathiya and Finlay hit it off. I feel really bad for jerking away from Asa when he tried to hold my hand. It's not that I didn't want him to, but I got extremely nervous, and probably embarrassed him. After 10 minutes of excruciating silence, I talk.

"So... Asa."

"Hm?" he replies, not really listening.

"How does it feel? You know, getting to act with so many people, and just being famous in general?" I ask.

"Well, I don't really know what to say. I just feel so lucky to be part of it. Being on set, it's a like a whole different world, you feel different."

"Different... how?"

"Again, I can't really explain it. I guess... I guess it's just something you have to experience yourself," he shrugs, giving me a small smile.

"Hey, you guys, there's a clothing shop right over there! Let's go try on ridiculous outfits, only to end up not buying anything!" Finlay says.

"Oddly, I think that's a great idea." Asa says.

"Me too!" I add.

"Well if you guys are in, I'm in." Fathiya giggles.

"Come on!" I exclaim, dragging Asa into the shop. We try on a lot of wacky clothes, giggling and making fun of each other. After about 30 minutes, Asa suggests that we should check out a cafe close by. We enter and order, then all sit together at an outside table. Our food and drinks come and we continue to chat.

"This place is really nice." Finlay says.

"Yeah, I like Florida." Fathiya agrees.

"Guys, have you read the Miss Peregrine books?" I ask. Asa nods.

"Yeah, they're really interesting. And the help me understand Jacob a bit more." he says.

"Y/N, do you mind if I borrow your copies of the books?" Finlay asks.

"Not at all." I reply. There is a lot of silence, until I feel a drop of water on my head. I look up, and another one lands of my forehead.

"Guys, we better get back, it looks like it's about to rain." Fathiya suggests.

"Yeah, it's getting dark anyway." Asa says, starting to pack up. We throw our stuff in the trash and Finlay pays. By the time we're ready to go, it's raining on full blast.

"Here." I hear Asa say, covering our heads with his jacket.

"Thanks." I say breathlessly. We all run, trying to get out of the rain. Finlay hails a taxi, and we all hop inside. As soon as we get inside, Fathiya starts to giggle, pretty soon I start to laugh too, and then we're all laughing. Asa is the first one to recover, and he says,

"That was fun."

"I really hope that we have enough free time to do something like that again." I reply.

"Yeah." Fathiya says. When we get to the hotel, Fathiya and Fin rush inside, but I pull Asa back. He looks at me with an eyebrow arched.

"I just wanted to say thanks, again, for not letting me get wet."

"No problem." he shrugs. I smile before leaning in and giving him a hug. Despite the cold rain, his body feels warm, and he isn't shivering like I am. He hugs me back and I break out into a grin. I feel the loss of warmth when he lets me go.

"Come on, we better get inside." Asa says. He takes my cold hand in his warm one and leads me inside the hotel and into my room. Only for me to flop on my bed when he leaves, and replay the moment all over again in my head.
