ethan and sydney roamed around disneyworld, going to various rides and shops, up until the park closed.
"thank you." she said to him quietly as they were walking toward the exit.
"for?"
"freaking flying me out to la to meet you and you just took me to disney land!" she cries out. once they get to the car, he stops and turns to face sydney, putting his hands on her shoulders, which sends chill up and down her spine.
"anything for you, angel." is all he says before embracing her in his strong arms. sydney inhales whatever cologne he is wearing and puts her ear against his chest, hearing his heartbeat.
"first date, check." ethan casually says in the silence as they're driving to their next destination. sydney glances over at him in the driver's seat.
"what?"
"that was our first date if you didn't notice, princess."
"no freaking way." sydney says in shock, her fingers squeezing her thigh as if to convince her that it isn't a dream.
ethan parks the car in front of a local gas station. without saying a word, he leads sydney inside and takes her to the aisle with snacks upon snacks.
"i think i promised you something." he announces, making her giggle. she looks around and spots the cheetos he so graciously promised to buy her. grabbing one bag, she begins to insist that she'll pay for it.
"i've seriously got it, ethan."
"i promised to buy them for you. that's how deals work." he pulls his wallet from his back pocket and puts a ten dollar bill on the counter after grabbing two bottles of mountain dew for them.
the two make it back to the hotel that sydney is staying in, and ethan welcomes himself into her room.
"i'm just going to change, if that's okay with you." she nervously says, digging into her suitcase for something to wear for the rest of the night.
"of course." ethan replies coolly, but she's still a bundle of nerves as she steps into the bathroom.
sydney: i'm sorry i'm so awkward...
she sends ethan the text, beginning to strip from her clothes. as she's putting on her cotton shorts, she gets a reply.
ethan: don't be nervous. we're friends, remember?
ethan: could be more
(not sent)
sydney: of course
ethan: now, come out and tell me about yourself
a/n: s'cute
