Fillie: Not Just Friends

12/Crush Crush Crush

Gaten sits in the kitchen, watching Noah play UNO with Millie, Finn, Sadie and Caleb, a half smile on his face.

Gaten dips his hand into the popcorn bowl, and stuffs a handful into his mouth. Just then, he feels a buzz in his pocket, and his ringtone for Joe Kerry's contact, starts playing.

But ain't nobody got a mom like mine.

Gaten giggled at the lyrics and pulled his phone out, Joe was face-timing him. He answered the call, still chewing his popcorn.

"Hey buddy!"

Gaten swallows his popcorn, "Hey Joe!"

"What's happening?"

"I'm at a sleepover with the gang at Sadie's house."

"Fun, fun. How is everyone?" Joe rolls over on his bed, still holding his phone upright.

Gaten speaks a little quieter, "Actually I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Someone has a crush on someone, but the person that they have a crush on likes another person."

"Gaten, I'd love to help, but you gotta be a little less vague, bud," Joe gulps some water.

"Okay fine, it's about Noah. He has a crush on Millie, but Millie and Finn are like a thing now."

Joe spits out his water, covering the camera in little droplets, making the video fuzzy on Gaten's phone.

"Woah, woah, WOAH," he smiles, "Fillie is real?"

Gaten smiles and nods, "But Noah-" his smile fades.

Joe sighs, "Gaten, sometimes, you just can't help a person that much in these situations. Noah will get over it, I'm sure. He's a very understanding and sweet kid, he'll find a new crush sooner or later I bet."

"I don't know Joe-"

"Trust me Gaten, I've been through a situation very similar to this.... So, do you have any crushes?"

Gaten blushes, smiles a cheesy smiles with his brand new pearls, "Maybe."

Oh, how badly he wanted to tell Joe, I have a crush on.... Noah.

Sorry if you don't like this, but Gaten is going to be bisexual in this story. Hope you like that/ thinks it's cool or cute? Idk

"Go get em' tiger."

Gaten does his signature purr in response. Joe chuckles, "Mind telling me who it is?"

"Uh, I- um, well-"

"It's okay Gaten, you don't have to tell me, I'm always here for advice though, okay?"

"Okay, thanks Mom- Uh I mean..."

They both burst into a fit of laughter, "Okay, talk to you later kiddo."

"Bye!" Gaten hangs up the face time call. Noah creeps up from behind seconds later.

"Who were you talking to?" He asks from behind Gaten. Gaten jumps in his seat, startled. He turns around and faces those big green eyes.

"Jesus, you scared me. I was talking to Joe."

"Cool, what about?"

"Uh... stuff."

Noah giggles, "What kind of stuff," he says, using air quotations.

"Just catching up."

Noah nods his head. There's an awkward pause, "I think they're having a competition to see you can catch the most popcorn in their mouth in a row."

"YES, I love those. Let's join?

Noah nods in agreement, and they head back into the tv room.

"7... 8..." they count as Finn catches a piece of popcorn, and then a skittle.

They give him a pause to chew, and then Millie tosses a sour patch kid towards Finn, he catches this with ease.

"9... 10...11... awh," they all said in unison.

"Omg, Eleven! I'm shook," Sadie says, clutching her chest to add effect.

Caleb wriggles his eyebrows suggestively, Millie blushes.

"Must be destiny," Finn looks at Millie with a smirk, and then he reaches down to grab the fallen sour patch kid, tossing it into his mouth.

"Finn!" Noah says, motioning to the sour patch kid he just ate.

"What, five second rule!" He says defensively. Everyone laughs.

"What should we do next?" Millie asks.

Finn smirks, "I know what we should do next."

Millie cocks up an eyebrow, "And what might that be, Wolfhard?"

Finn's eyes flick down to Millie soft, pink lips, and back to her glimmering amber eyes.

"Jeez guys! Stop flirting!" Gaten says exasperated.

"We're not!" They say simultaneously.

"Uh huh, suuuure," Sadie rolls her eyes.

"Okay, it's getting late, maybe we should go to bed?" Noah says, not wanting to witness anymore flirting between anyone.

Millie whines, "What? No it's only 11!"

Everyone looks at each other, "ELEVEN!" They shout, bursting into a fit of laughter.

"I never gave up on you, I called you for-"

"353 days? I heard."

Millie and Finn blush once they've realized how close they got to each other while quoting their lines.

I haven't kissed her in so long, Finn thinks, trying to keep himself from just leaning in those few extra inches.

He stops himself. Millie and Finn back away embarrassed.

"Want to play never have I ever?" Caleb suggests.

He gets nods and 'sure' and 'okay' in response.

"Okay," Gaten smiles, "I'll start."

Sorry if there's mistakes, I didn't proof read because I wanted to get this out as soon as possible.
