You walk to your room and brush your hair as you wait for Dan to arrive. You sit on your bed and scroll through Instagram, Dan's sweater on your lap. You hear Presley bark from the living room, and seconds later the doorbell rings. You jump off of your bed and grab the sweater.

As soon as you open the front door Presley runs out and excitedly jumps in circles around Dan. "What a warm welcome!" he chuckles. You reach down and grab Presley's collar, leading him inside and mention for Dan to follow.

"Sorry about Presley, he gets a little excited when there's a visitor." You apologize.

Dan reaches down to scratch behind Presley's ear. "Don't worry about it, (y/n), I love dogs."

While Dan plays with Presley, you grab your keys and the grocery list off of the counter. "Here's your sweater." You hold it out to Dan but he shakes his head, pushing it towards you.

"Keep it," He says with a smile. "It will remind you to come visit me sometime... plus you look adorable in it." Dan winks and you blush.

You put on the sweater over your tee shirt. "In that case, I'm never taking it off."

Dan chuckles, and the two of you stare into each other's eyes for a few moments before reality sets in. You clear your throat. "So should we get going?" You suggest and Dan awkwardly nods.

You lead Dan to the garage and to your car, a (dream car). "Nice ride." Dan compliments.

"Thanks, since I'm not paying for two more years of college, I decided to use the money I've saved elsewhere." You explain, gesturing to the car.

"Did you drop out?" Dan asks curiously before quickly shaking his head. "That was so rude of me, just because I dropped out it doesn't mean everyone did. You're so smart you probably graduated early. I'm such an idiot." You gently place your hand on his arm and he stops rambling.

"It's okay Dan. Yes, I did drop out. I thought I would graduate from law school but it became too much. I decided to move back home and pursue my dream of being a photographer." You respond and Dan's eyes grow wide.

"I dropped out of law school too." He pauses for a moment. "Technically to pursue photography."

"I guess we have a lot in common." You say with a smile. Dan returns the smile, then opens the driver side door for you.

"What a gentleman!" You exclaim, making a show of getting in the car.

"What can I say, I'm a stereotypical Brit." Dan responds, before closing the door for you and running to the passenger side.

- time skip because i'm lazy af (and who wants to read about a car ride oof) -

You finally arrive at Publix (a grocery store chain that started in florida, specifically the town i live in) and grab a cart. You push the cart to the side, so it's out of people's way, then climb inside.

"Push me, peasant!" You demand and Dan just laughs and shakes his head.

"Technically, (y/n), I'm the celebrity here." He reminds you and you pout, pulling your best puppy dog eyes.

Dan sighs, "Fine..but you're going to have to tell me where to go."

"Deal." You respond, pulling the grocery list out of your pocket. "First stop: Isle 1. We need milk."

With that, Dan pushes you towards the dairy isle. Some older people give you weird looks as you speed by, but you just smile, enjoying the ride. Suddenly Dan stops, causing you and the cart to jerk forward.
