Y/N P.O.V.

After we finish eating (and Robert stopped crying over Audra dissing him, and Chris stopped complaining about Sebastian stealing his fries, and Sebastian stopped laughing at Tom for mispronouncing words, and I stopped needing to try to comfort Tom while trying not to giggle at his red face, and Scarlett stopped watching the whole thing while smirking with Anthony), we were ready to pay and head back out.

We were walking down the street like a group of teenagers; I was in the middle with Tom and Audra on either side of me. It was now dark out. Hmm, it got dark fast...

Out of nowhere, Tom took my hand in his and put our linked hands behind his back.

It took me a second to remember we were out in public. I look up at him with wide eyes, and he used his other hand to motion for me to keep quiet.

I grinned and he smiled back sheepishly.

"Why are you guys so quiet over there?" Anthony asked, looking at us. We quickly parted our hands and looked at him. Way to kill the mood, Anthony. Congratulations.

"Yeah..." Chris added. "What's been up with you two?" They're getting suspicious—quick, do something!

"Just taking in the night sky." Tom pointed at the sky with a goofy look on his face. The universe must have been on Tom's side because the night sky really was amazing.

"Sure you were..." Robert started suspiciously, before glancing up and gasping softly. "Oh wow, actually, it does look beautiful tonight. Not much light pollution."

"At first I thought he was talking about Audra, but then I remembered the only person he'll compliment is himself," Sebastian said, leaning on a fence with a smirk.

"Hey! Not True! I'll have you know that Audra is the most beautiful person I have ever laid my eyes on," Robert exclaimed, smiling at Audra while she blushed.

Scarlett and I both let out a shared, "Awww..."

Tom, however, butted in with, "No originality!"

The exchange ended in Tom running for his life from Robert, and Robert being chased by us as we tried to stop him. I ended up falling after Christ tripped and pushed me, resulting in Scarlet going down as well as I tumbled into her. Sebastian wanted to be included in the charade, so he intentionally "fell" on top of Chris.

I was laughing way too hard at Chris's excuse for falling ("I tripped on the grass! Hey, come on, don't laugh at me!") and so were several of the others until Scarlet stood up and brushed herself off.

"I have to go, guys. Everyone—well, except the newcomers—has an early shoot tomorrow morning so goodnight!" she said.

"Oh dang, same!" Chris exclaimed, getting up as well.

Soon everyone was gone but Tom and me. Well, isn't this a perfect coincidence...

"Well then..." Tom looked down at me then looked away, his hands in his pockets. He started chuckling at something.

''What are you laughing about?" His laughter made me laugh as well.

"I'm replaying the fall in my mind," he started laughing. "We're such a mess."

"Hey! I could have gotten hurt!" I lightly punched his shoulder.

"But you didn't! Plus, I would have saved you," he said, picking me up in a fireman's carry.

I acted like Superman, flying through the sky.

Then I paused and asked, "...wanna go to the park?"

"Yeah." He started walking with me still over his shoulder.

"Yay I get to stay on!" I said, slightly enjoying this, but still a little embarrassed. Tom laughed.

When we got to the park, he put me down and ran towards the swings. "Hey, Y/n, come push me. Please!"

I smiled and ran over to him, pushing him in the swing. I laughed when every time he turned around he accompanied the turn with a weird face at me.

Man... I really love this doof.
