Camping part 2 + Love

After setting up the tents, Sophie goes for a bit of a walk. She has her phone on her, and promises to stay close by to where the tent is set up. Barbara holds your hand, and the two of you look at the setting sun. Moments like this make your heart flutter. Even after years of dating her, you still feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

" Hey (y/n)," she says. " Christmas is coming up. Is there anything you wanted to?" You think about it for awhile.

" I mean, not really. There wasn't any big trip I wanted to go on. I just wanted to do something small with you and Soph. Plus the Roosterteeth office party. Those are always a lot of fun." She nods at you.

" Well, I wanted to visit my family, or have them visit us," she says. " Other than that, yeah a small scale Christmas would be nice."

" Sounds good," you say. " I love your family though. Although, I will say that your dad is a bit scary sometimes."

Barbara chuckles. " Well hey. He loves you," she says. " So much more than the rest of my other boyfriends. He just doesn't want you to hurt his little girl. But, he knows that you won't." The two of you share a smile when Sophie comes back to camp.

You sit around roasting marshmallows, and Sophie looks up at you. " When did you two realize you were in love with each other?"

-Flashback your pov-

You made your way down the dance floor, and saw Barbara. The two of you had gone to prom together after the guy who was supposed to be her date had stood her up. He had ended up showing up, and Barbara had gone to confront him. When he walked away from her, you walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder. She turns to you and smiles.

" Forget about that guy," you tell her. A slow song ( All of Me) starts. " I love this song. Let's dance." She smiles at you, and the two of you sway back and forth.

" Thank you for bringing me (y/n)," she says. " I really appreciate this. You're always there for me, and I don't always end up showing it you enough. Not a lot of guys would do this, especially if they weren't going to go to prom originally. What made you change your mind?"

" Well, I heard from a friend that your date had stood you up. I was pissed off, and then wanted to prove a point. I am the smartest guy at this school, since everyone should have been falling over their feet to bring you to this dance."

She blushes, and rests her head on your chest. " Thank you for that (y/n)," she says. " I'm really lucky that you and I are friends."

After the song ends, she kisses you on the cheek. You blush, and touch the spot where her lips touched your cheek.

-Flashback Barbara Pov-

I open the door, and see Margaret kick (y/n) across the room. My heart flutters and breaks. Why? Why would anyone want to hurt him? He has such a big heart, and would do anything for someone he cared about. Prom made me realize this.

As (y/n) cries a little bit, my heart breaks further. And then I realize. I'm in love with him. " Don't you touch him!" Margaret turns to look at me, with hatred in her eyes. I dash over, and cradle (y/n). He starts to cry, and I kiss him on the forehead.

Micheal and Lindsay rush to hold Margaret back, and then call the police.

Present her pov

" I wish it hadn't been that that made me realize I loved (y/n)," I admit to Sophie. (y/n) shakes his head and smiles.

" I'm just glad you did," he says.
