I shift over on the couch, my bed not being entirely ready considering that there are boxes all over it. I check the time, my tired eyes scan my notifications before seeing the actual time.

Dan Howell texted me 10 minuets ago.

I sat up quickly, the blanket slipping off my shoulder. I blink a couple of times making sure that's what exactly what I saw, I finally check the time.

 1:01 AM

I yawned and unlocked my phone, leaning against the couch and looking through his text. I read it multiple times over and over making sure I read it correctly.

Dan || 12:01 AM

I sure hope I didn't wake you or anything, but I wanted to ask you a question.

I smile slightly to myself, trying to think of what how to reply. Instead I type up a small short sentence before I over think it and scare him away or something

Me || 1:05 AM

Hey Dan what's up? :)

I turn off my phone pleased with what I typed, and I stretched plopping back down and relaxed. I tried not to think about it too much decided to get a snack, I stood up and shoved my phone into the pocket of my lounge pants. I headed for the kitchen, opening the fridge door and pulling out a pudding cup. I set down the cup feeling my phone go off.

Dan || 1:15 AM 

Hey didn't know you were up right now, but I wanted to know maybe you would enjoy a cup of coffee with me?

I felt myself smile automatically, I took a deep breath and looked over the text one more time making sure I have read it correctly and he was basically asking me out. My heart was pounding as I took another deep breath and looked back down at my keyboard and attempted at putting a sentence together.

Me || 1:23 AM

Well I think I would love to neighbor.

I giggled to myself as I sent it as I grabbed a spoon out of a box and opened my pudding cup beginning to eat waiting patiently for his reply. I began to think, but then my thoughts led to him. 

His face, his hair, his eyes, his smile.

I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed softly, I slap my cheeks gently and looked over at my phone. 

I have to stop thinking about him I thought.

Dan || 1:27 AM

Alright does 8 sound good then neighbor?

I laughed after I scoop a spoon full of pudding into my mouth, I nod even though he couldn't see. I put my cup down and grab my phone quickly texting back

Me || 1:35 AM

Yes that sounds amazing, see you then.

I smiled to myself and set my phone down and relaxed, quickly eating the rest of my pudding and put it away then rushed to the couch.

Throwing the covers over my body, eagerly closing my eyes to sleep.

I roll onto my side but unfortunately fell off and onto the ground. I groaned hearing knocking on the door. "Give me one second!" I yelled and stood up, I fixed my hair and yawned. I pulled the door open, my eyes went wide as I saw Dan standing there. "O-Oh shit, uhhh" I looked down and huffed. "No worries" "I'm sorry I'm a mess, I didn't realize the time, please come in" I smiled, and he returned it his dimple showing. He stepped into my flat, and looked around.

 "You're not a mess compared to this" Dan chuckled looking around. "I know it's a mess but it's hard unpacking right now" I giggled. 

I spun on my heels and faced Dan, "I will be right back, I need to get ready and change quickly" "I'll be waiting here" I smiled before trotting upstairs leaving him downstairs, quickly undressing and putting clothes on.

I brushed out my hair and put a coat and a scarf on. I looked in the mirror making sure I looked decent before going back downstairs. "Sorry I didn't mean to not be ready, I was supposed to be ready but my alarm didn't go off" I stammered running my fingers through my hair. 

"Don't apologize, Y/n it's alright, don't worry about it" Dan smiled, I noticed his dimples, and on his right cheek two freckles sideways forming a smilely face with his dimple. I giggled slightly to myself. "What's so funny?" He asks as we walk to the door, I glance at him. "You have a smilely face on your cheek" I could see his cheeks light up a soft red, which only made me smile more.

"Well let's go Daniel" I smiled and opened the door, he nodded but placed his hand on the door. "Come on I'm taking you out for coffee let me be the gentleman" Dan said holding the door, I only pouted playfully. "Fiinnee" I sigh in response as I walk out the door then he follow before I head towards the care he was leading me to, I quickly lock the door and made sure it was locked

"Alright let's go"
