You Can Count On Me // Andreas Wellinger

Part 6 ~ Waffles

A/N: Hi guys, sorry this chapter took so long. I'm unfortunately not really satisfied with this part, I had a great idea, but it seems like it didn't quite turn out as well as I wanted. Anyway, please still let me know your thoughts on this. I hope you enjoy it at least a little! 💜

October passed along with the warm days and November came crashing with the cold, sooner than Maja had expected. As much as she liked the winter season, she didn't half as much enjoy the chilly temperatures on her delicate skin. The days felt much shorter, therefore coming back from work at late hours all by herself, creeped her out more than ever before. Hence why she was extremely thankful when a specific friendly guy walked her home every now and then.

Maja enjoyed Stephan's and Andi's presence more and more as days passed. She did not have a chance to hang out with the whole group again, apart from the one time when all the boys came into the café, but she was at work, so it wasn't the same. She knew the ski jumping season was just around the corner and as much as she was looking forward for it to begin, she couldn't imagine what it would be like without the boys, especially the two dorks who lived the closest. Their company had gradually became almost an everyday thing and she didn't want it to change.

The girl was truly happy that when the guys leave, she would at least still have Lena. The two girls exchanged numbers, yet they didn't even realise how much they would enjoy texting each other. They understood each other very well and chose to meet up once or twice, even if it was just to be bored together. Maja was incredibly grateful for meeting such wonderful people who easily accepted her into their group.

Stephan groaned as he felt something damp against his cheek. He didn't bother opening his eyes, he just turned onto his other side, while wiping at his cheek lazily with the back of his hand. He assumed it was just Andi messing around, so he simply pushed away whatever it was.

"Andi I'm not in the mood for cuddles," he mumbled, shoving his face deeper into the pillow. Just as he was falling back asleep, he felt something nudging his arm repeatedly.

"I swear to god Andreas, you have five seconds to stop being annoying," he huffed. When the nudging didn't stop, the boy lost his patience and swung back round angrily, ready to yell at the younger boy. Much to his surprise, Andi was nowhere to be seen which made him confused, but what he saw beside him instead was much more confusing. Stephan sat up instantly, suspiciously eyeing the black and white furred pet.

"Andreas! Get your ass over here right now!" He yelled. Nothing.

"Wellinger!" Stephan hissed a bit louder this time since the first time didn't bring any results. Eventually, a hungover Andi appeared in the doorway of Stephan's room.

"Can you explain why on earth you are yelling in the middle of the night?" The younger boy mumbled while rubbing his eyes. "My head is throbbing." Andi didn't even realise it was 10am.

"Can you explain why on earth there is a dog on my bed?" Stephan spoke frustrated, slightly mocking his tone.

"What the hell are you-," Andi began, but he paused when he finally opened his eyes and saw a small husky on his best friend's bed. His face showed pure confusion for a slight second, but then a smug grin appeared on his face. "You know, it's none of my business who you have in your bed, but I don't think that's-," this time Andi paused because he had to dodge a pillow that had been flung in his direction by Stephan. The husky jumped off of the bed and chased after the pillow, almost running into the wall.

"Andreas did you steal a puppy?" Stephan sighed, narrowing his eyes at Andi while tugging at his own hair.

The younger boy's eyes widened. "What? No! Of course not. He is a stray dog." Andi began to explain while he squatted to stroke the energetic pup. "I was coming back from the club and I saw him outside that waffles place in town, I swear I saw him there before too." He informed, picking the dog up and laying down on Stephan's bed with it.
