Bromantic (Craig Tucker x Reader)

Mustang

I wake up the next morning to light pouring into my bedroom window. I lean over to check my clock and it reads 8:30am.

    "Fuck." I screech as I fling myself out of bed and sprint to the shower. I quickly wash up, throw on a bit of makeup, cause it is a date. Ya know? Then I put on a pair of ripped blue jeans and a simple black tank top. I don't want Craig thinking I am trying for him, which I mean, its obvious im not. Im completely over him and i'll prove it to him tonight. Well, maybe I'll add just a bit more mascara. Shit... maybe this outfit is a bit under dressed? God that annoying little shit didn't even tell me what to be prepared for. Before I even had time to think about picking out another outfit there was a loud knock on my bedroom door, then it opened. Craig stood there in a black tux with a blue tie. He was holding a bouquet of gladiolus of all different colors in his hand. He just stood there smiling at me.

    "You look gorgeous." As he spoke I took in a deep breath trying not to let my past feelings for him come rushing back all at once. I looked back at him, I couldn't seem to find any words. So I just stared at him, wearing a tux... I couldn't decide whether to tell him the truth and compliment him, or just plain out make fun of him. I still couldn't get my gaze to waver off of him for even a second, It was almost like I was in a trance. God damnit! I am not letting this guy get to me again!  Just then Craig's mouth smirked into what i'd say is a half assed smile, which thankfully knocked me out of my creepy stalker face.

    "W-where the hell are you t-taking me?" I forcefully stuttered out as I felt the dreaded flames of my blush creep onto my cheeks.

    "It's a surprise, come on." Craig then grabbed my hand and took me out my front door. There parked on the side of my street... was a 1969 Ford Mustang. Completely carbon black with a red pin stripe. Craig opened the passenger door for me, then made his way to the driver's seat.

    "Holy shit! Is this yours!?" I exclaimed before Craig even had time to shut the car door.

    "Sure is. I've been saving up since my sixth birthday, plus I had a bit of help from my parents... and the part time job I got at whistling willy's.." Craig then started the engine, and it was DEEP!

    "Awe Craig! You're a pizza boy!?" I said as i jokingly fanned myself. I saw a slight dash of pink across his cheeks and then he began to drive.

    "So.. umm, am I like underdressed for this?" I asked noticing the complete contrast between our clothes.

    "I think you look breathtaking (Y/n)" Craig's voice soften as he spoke my name. Now it was my turn to let pink rise to my cheeks. It got quiet as the sound of the engine rumbled all around us. I watched him manually shift, as the Mustang gained speed. Not long after we started to speed up, we came to a stop.

    "We are here." Craig said. I looked through the windshield to see we were in the middle of a back road, which seem like it was deserted.

    "Umm, You're not planning on murdering me right?" I asked half joking and half serious. Craig slightly chuckled at me. I felt my heart skip a quick beat as his grey eyes met mine.

    "No, get in the driver's seat." he said as he got out of the car, taking off his tux jacket, leaving him in just a white button up with the sleeves rolled up and a loosened tie. I froze as he opened up my door.

    "You can't be serious right now." I exclaimed, still seated but now staring up at him as he leaned against the roof of the car looking down at me.

    "Oh, I am definitly serious." He said as he grabbed me out of the car and moved me to the drivers seat, shutting the door after tucking my legs inside. I was in such shock that he would let me drive his new car, I honestly didnt even know how to protest against him. Protest? What the fuck brain. I mean kick him or something.

    "Don't freak, I'm right here." He toock me out of my own thoughts as he climed into the cae and shut his door.

    "Go ahead, turn it on." was all I heard come from his mouth before I excitedly turned the key as ast as I could. It. felt. Amazing. Craig then put y hand on the shifter, letting his own hand rest on mine.

    "Alright, now i'll tell you everything you have to do. You'll do great so dont over think about it" Craig walked me through the steps, and I eneded up stalling the car twice before we finally got moving. He explained how to use the clutch, then hwlped me move the shifter to the right slot when it needed to be. Once I got the hang of it we took a long, relaxed and very needed joy ride. That is until we came to a very long and very straight road.

    "Okay (N/n), now dont stop." Craig's voice sounded a bit stern. I pressed the petal to the floor and we kept going untill we reached 100mph! Then I let off the gas.

    "Oh my god!" I yelled in excitement as I tok the car to a complete stop. I could feel my face heart beating so intensly.

    "Amazing right!?" Craig asked. I just nodded in amazement. Then we both just started laughing.

    "Alright, its your turn now. I've been driving for awhile." I got out of the car just to see Craig following my lead. He then suddenly was so close to me. We stood practicaly nose to nose in front of the car. I could feel my breath being stolen from my lungs as we searched eachothers eyes.

    "(Y/n),,, I have never felt this way before... about anyone." Craig's words made my heart beat faster then it did when we were moving 100mph. I seriously feel like im going to have a heart attack. I need to escape. He can not win this game he is playing with me. I saw him slowly begin to move closer to my lips.. His eyes began closing, and right now, in this moment I want nothing more than to kiss him. But I know better. I ducked out and away from him as I changed the subject.

    "Oh man, and I have never felt this way about a car before!" I then patted the hood of the Mustang. Craig then chuckled as he smiled at me. He had a weird look in his eye. Almost like Im the first girl he's ever seen before.

    "Well on to part two of our date." Craig then opened the passanger door for me.

    "Wait. Theres apart two?" I asked while keeping my leg out the door so he couldnt shut it. Craig then just grinned down at me as he softly kicked my foot inside and shut the door.
