SKINS Imagines and Preferences

[ "Like a Date?" ] Tony Stonem

"Maxxie's not here today, he's with his... you know" y/n winked sitting down at the dinner table. She felt comfortable now that when Maxxie wasn't there she could sit with them. "Budge up" y/n said, nudging Chris who hand most of the side to himself. Once y/n got out her food, Chris put his arm around her shoulder, y/n thought nothing of it but Tony felt a prick of jealousy in him. Which is why Chris did it. "Hey Chris, you mind?" Y/n asked. Tony thought she was talking about his arm around him but she said when Chris frowned at her, "the fag. Chris, stop blowing smoke over my food."
"It is a bit disgusting, Chris" Tony agreed, only to take y/n's side, she was wise to his tactics now. Maxxie had warned her anyway. Y/n looked to Tony and rolled her eyes. Michelle tutted, she knew Tony better than anyone and when she gets y/n alone, she was going to warn her too.
"I've never heard you complain before" Chris tutted, putting the cigarette to his mouth again.
"And you do it enough" Jal defended Chris. Y/n smiled to herself, she found their bickering funny.
"Do I make you laugh?" Tony said, flirting.
Y/n scoffed and stood up, throwing her rubbish in the bin and looked to him, "don't fatter yourself Tony. You just aren't my type." Was she playing hard to get on purpose? Y/n didn't know, she told herself she wasn't and that she really didn't want to be with him. Tony jumped up out of his seat and ran to catch up with y/n. She sighed, "Tony, what to you want?
"Just want to talk to you, is that so hard to ask?" Tony grinned, but y/n didn't see.
"It is when our conversations end up turning into a debate as to why I won't sleep with you" y/n said, waving to a girl in her class. "Look Tony, your a nice guy, but-"
"You don't like me"
"I didn't say that, I just think you should stop trying to fuck everything that moves" y/n said, "I'll see you around, Tony." She smiled and walked backwards as she spoke and then turned to walk to her friends from class. Tony watched as she went, he couldn't stop watching her and that annoyed him, he was falling for her and he didn't like the idea of that. But the more he thought about her the more he knew he wanted more than sex from her, he wanted a life with her. Tony rattled his brain to think of a way to get y/n to go out with him, he could take her to a club, but they all did that anyway so she wouldn't think anything of it.
"Why don't you see if she wants to go for some food with you?" Chis suggested, and that's what Tony hadn't thought of, how he was going to ask her he didn't know. He could ask Effy for some advice but she'll probably laugh at him.

When Tony got home he made his way to Effy's room, he had never done this before, asked Effy for advice and he had certainly never gone to her room. Before he knocked on her door she opened it. She didn't say anything and Tony stood there for a moment before saying, "Effy, I need some advise"
"You mean my help?"
"No, I mean advice" Tony said, he didn't want to admit it. Effy laughed, she knew he needed her help, "I need some advice on how to ask-"
"You need my help in asking y/n out" Effy cut him off and grinned, it was one feature Tony and Effy shared, the cunning grin.
Tony huffed, "Yes", getting tired of arguing.
"Sorry, I can't help you there" Effy smiled sweetly and began closing her door.
Tony stopped it with his hand and demanded, "Why?"
"She already has a boyfriend you know" Effy smiled again. "His names Harry" Effy informed, "he still goes to her old school"
"How do you know this?" Tony huffed.
"Because I actually shown an interest in her life... unlike you" Effy scolded.
"When did you even talk to her?"
"When you offered to help her catch up in a lesson she had missed but instead of you being here, you were off fucking some 'blonde bitch' as she called her" Effy smiled again. Tony huffed and walked away into his room and slammed the door. Effy laughed to herself. Tony jumped up from his bed and ran to Effy's room again after sulking on his bed for an hour. She opened the door again before he knocked.
"Did she get the notes?" Tony asked and Effy shook her head. He went back into his room, grabbed the notes and headed for y/n's house. It was on the way to college so he had passed it enough times to pick her up but that was before he tried to get her into his bed. He knocked on and a woman answered the door, "Hi, is y/n in?"
"Who's asking?" The woman asked.
"oh, I'm a friend of hers, I'm Tony, I have some work she missed a couple weeks back" Tony explained quickly.
"Hi, Tony" y/n said from behind the woman, ultimately saving Tony. "Mum" She said and the woman opened the door to let Tony in. She went up to her room and Tony followed, "So you remember then?" She asked, nodding to the work.
"Yeah, Effy mentioned you had come by or something" Tony answered, he was trying so hard to act normal but it wasn't working, y/n could see through him.
"Tony..." She said after a moment, she stood up from her desk and handed the work back to Tony.
"I know you have a boyfriend, and I am just here to give you the work and you know...talk" Tony cut her off.
"Actually" She began and sat on the bed next to Tony, "I don't have a boyfriend... we broke up, well I got rid of him" She laughed.
"Why?"
"He was sleeping around, he couldn't keep it in his pants" She rolled her eyes. "I'm not really too bothered anyway... he was an ass... anyway"
Tony smiled, "Most guys are"
"Yeah..."
Silence fell between them until Tony asked, "Why don't we go grab something to eat? I'll pay"
"Like a date?" She asked, after he offered to pay.
"If- Yeah, a date" Tony smiled, worriedly.
"Yeah, that sounds great, let me just grab my coat, I'll meet you downstairs" y/n said, walking to her wardrobe and as soon as Tony left she leaped across the bed to get her phone to text Maxxie:

Tony asked me on a date...

She didn't say anything else and grabbed her jacket, putting it on as she went down the stairs and shoved her phone in one of the pockets. "See you later mum!" She shouted as she shut the door behind her and Tony.

***

When the got to the burger place, Tony noticed everyone was there. Tony looked to y/n who was looking guilty, "I only told Maxxie, and I didn't even tell him where we were going" She said, holding up her hands.
"You want to go somewhere else?" Tony asked.
"Why would I? Are you ashamed of me already?" y/n joked.
"No, I didn't mean it like that-"
"Tony, I'm joking" y/n laughed and walked in. Tony followed, taking a seat at the other side of the restaurant. They could hear the others giggling.
"I thought you said Maxxie was ill?" Tony huffed, getting annoyed at them.
"No I said he was with his boyfriend" y/n said, adding, "I just told the teachers he was" she said, skimming over the menu. "Tony, just ignore them" she huffed, "look if you don't want to be here, we can do this another time, alright?"
"No. I want to do this now..." Tony looked over y/n's shoulder and the others waved and made love hearts with there fingers. He didn't like them mocking him. "Let's go back to mine, my patents are away for the weekend and I know Effy's gone out" he said and added, "I'm not going to try anything..."
"If it puts you at ease" y/n sighed, "i just need to toilet, ill meet you outside" she said but she didn't. She was going to talk to the others, and probably kill Maxxie. "Oi" she hit Maxxie on the shoulder, while they all laughed. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Winding Tony up. We knew you'd come to your favourite place" Chris grinned. Y/n glared at him.
"Well thanks" she huffed and walked out the door, she thought she was just getting through to Tony. Not changing him but making him change his ways to make him a better person.

The Next Day.

Y/n's eyes opened and she looked around the room. Not again, she thought, surely she hadn't been so stupid to crawl back to Harry. But she then remember the night before. She shot up in the bed and looked to her left. Tony. She hasn't crawled back to Harry, she sighed with relief and then smiled. She smiled because Tony had confessed his love for her and somehow she believed that it was real. He was still fast asleep, so she was going to leave him to sleep. She heard a noise coming from downstairs, that must be Effy, she thought. Y/n got out of bed and pulled on her clothes and headed down the stairs.
"Morning Effy" y/n smiled, waking into the kitchen. Effy turned and looked her up and down and smiled.
"Morning." Effy said, placing a cup of tea on the table for y/n.
"Thanks." Y/n said, unsure what to say.
"He likes you a lot you know" Effy said, walking away and said "Morning Tony, have a nice sleep" y/n could almost see the grin on Effy's face when she said it.
"Hi" Tony smiled shyly.
"Hello, Tony." Y/n smiled back, "what time are your parents getting back?" She asked him looking to the clock.
"Tomorrow afternoon" he said, making a cup of tea for himself.
"That means I can stay here for a bit longer" y/n said, looking to her tea. As soon as she said it she wished she hadn't until she looked up.

Tony stared at her smiling until she looked up from her cup, "I was hoping you would say that" he grinned. To y/n his grin had changed meaning, how? She wasn't sure but she knew it had changed.
