A/n- Another edit, y'all. Also, thank you for over 1.5k <3

The next day, Fionn awoke the next day not knowing where he was. He could hear water running and his first instinct was one of the boys were in the shower but he wasn't in his room. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up groggily, stretching and yawning, searching his surroundings. The sound of the water shut off and a few moments later the door to the bathroom unlocked and Dotty stepped out in shorts and a loose t-shirt with her hair damp and dripping on the towel that was around her shoulders. "Morning, sleepy head." She smiled.

Fionn smiled back at the girl who sat on the floor in front of the mirror and plugged in her hair dryer. "Morning, um...when did I fall asleep?"

"Not long after we started watching Netflix on my laptop. I was going to wake you up but you seemed so tired and relaxed that I just slept on the floor." She replied drying her hair slightly with a towel. "But don't worry I like sleeping on the floor, that's what you get for camping a lot."

Fionn shook his head and shuffled to the end of the bed, "Dotty, you should have woken me up. I have my own bed to sleep in, I shouldn't have taken yours."

"Oh shut up, Fionn. I said it was fine, besides, it's not the worst view to wake up too."

The boy chuckled, "Now who's being smooth?" Dotty winked at the boy through the reflection of the mirror as she started up the hairdryer. As she dried her hair she couldn't help but stare at Fionn through the reflection. He was pulling faces at her, amusing her so much that she turned her head and pointed the dryer at him causing his bed head to blow in all different directions. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop!"

Dotty threw her head back "I love your new look!" She commented and shut the dryer off.

Fionn rolled his eyes and kneeled behind her, "You've missed the back of your head." He muttered and turned the dryer back on, pointing it at her hair. He ran his fingers through her golden locks as he helped dry her hair, biting his lip in concentration. Dotty sat looking at the mirror studying everything and after a few moments Fionn finished and put the hairdryer down on the floor. He wrapped his arms around the girl and rested his head on her shoulder. "All done." He concluded.

"I gathered. Thank you though." She replied and brought her phone up to take a picture. Fionn pulled a face as she smiled taking the picture before placing her phone down. "You should probably go and get ready. I'll meet you at breakfast?"

Fionn nodded and stood up, "I'll see you later. Save me a seat next to you."

Jack was the first to arrive down to the breakfast hall after Dotty and after getting some food he joined her, sitting on the opposite side of the table. As he spooned some yoghurt into his mouth he stared at her intently. "Is there a problem?" She asked him, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion.

"So. Did you enjoy your little sleepover? I hope you remembered to wrap it before you tapped it." He said as if it was nothing unusual.

Dotty coughed and choked on her beans, glowing red in the cheeks. "First of all, we did not need to wrap it or whatever you said because we aren't together nor did anything like that And secondly, Fionn fell asleep halfway through the first episode of the GreenHouse Academy on Netflix. He must have been tired because it's a great show, and I slept on the floor, I'll have you know."

Jack chortled shaking his head, "You should have seen your face, priceless, I'm only messing wit' you Dotty. I know nothing happened, the lads already have teased Fionn."

Dotty threw a bean at the man who cockily caught it in his mouth. "Unbelievable."

Jack smirked as the others joined the pair at breakfast, Fionn sitting one side of Dotty, Tom the other. "G'morning Mrs Whitehead." Greeted Barry, cheekily.

"Oh shut up!" Both Dotty and Fionn exclaimed as one. "Nothing happened, we're just friends!"

"And I'm your best friend." Grinned Tom.

"Er, I don't think so. That's me." Said, Harry pointing his fork at the blonde girl.

"No, it's me." Said Aneurin.

Cillian laughed, "Now, now, I think we all know it's me."

Dotty rolled her eyes at the boys but didn't say anything. Instead, she continued to eat her beans. The girl laughed as the boys broke out into thumb wars to decide. She slipped out her phone and unlocked it whilst it was under the table. She loaded her text messages and selected all of the guys' names sending them all the same message.

Dotty:

You're my best friend :)

Hearing all of their phones go off, everyone looked at them and grinned. Not realising they all got the same message they started to all gloat. Upon realisation, they all turned to Dotty who shimmied away from the table, sheepishly. She walked backwards before turning around only to bump into her father who held onto her shoulders so that she didn't fall on the ground. "Is everything okay?" Christopher asked her, she nodded. "That's good then. You're on the boats with me today."

"Yes!" She exclaimed, "I love boats."

"I know, I am your father."

"Oooh, Star Wars reference." Dotty laughed, "I'll see you around, dad." Christ patted her shoulder as she walked away, Fionn following not long after, the boys laughing at the table they were sat at.

"Am I missing something?" Christopher asked the guys.

"Nope, at least, we think not." Replied Tom (H). "Unless we're all missing something."
