"How was the trip?" he asked you, still holding you tight.
"It was okayy. Not good just because of turbulence and I couldn't sleep on the flight. But I missed you," you complained.
"We've never even met, though!" he exclaimed light-heartedly and smiled. He attacked you with another bear hug. "I've wanted to hug you for the longest time, Y/N," he told you.
"I've wanted to tell you something. And hug you," you admitted and laughed.
"What? Tell meeeeeee," he begged. You sighed.
"Remember when we first met?" you asked him anxiously.
"Just tell me!" he said excitedly yet somewhat upset or nervous. "I'll tell you what I have to say because I need to tell you something, too."
"I wanna say it at the same time because it might be the same thing. Okay?" you asked. He nodded.
"3... 2... 1..." "I like you," you both said. Your face blushed and his did too. "As what?" he asked you.
"As more than what we are now..." you said nervously and looked at your hands, which were fumbling with each other and your thumb ran over the other one.
You felt another hand. It was soft, yet masculine. You looked up. It was Daithi's hand. He pulled his head over to yours and kissed your forehead. You blushed and you both smiled at each other. "Wanna go?" he asked you. You replied with a nod. He took your hand and you walked out the door. He grabbed an iced coffee for you, and he took his coffee and you walked into the elevator. He pressed to go to the ground floor. You both walked to the booth where Daithi sat, and he pulled up a chair for you. A few fans walked over and asked for hugs from both of you and talked about you guys getting together. You saw Daithi whisper something to the fans who said something about you guys, but it didn't happen that much. Daithi then sat down next to me at the end of signing. "We're not participating in any panels today, so wanna go somewhere?" he asked you considerately.
"Where? I've never been to San Diego before. Like, dinner?" you asked, confused and nervous. He nodded his head.
"Trust me. I'll go somewhere you'll like." He smirked. He then got out his phone and texted Evan. You weren't snooping, you were just curious on why he was texting Evan. You couldn't sneak a peek at his phone since he put it back in his pocket. He locked arms with you and led you outside into his car. He took off his jacket. You couldn't help but blush. "You like this guy? It's about to change into something more than just friends, my dear." He held his hand out for yours. "Something much better than friends." You blushed.
"You feel the same?" you asked curiously. He looked over at you.
"Mhmm," he said. "We're going to Baskin Robbins. It's ice cream. Where our first day will be."
You were puzzled. "You don't care about the situation with Brian?" you asked.
"No. That's behind you. It's behind us. You deserve better than him. Are you guys still like that?"
"No. Don't shit talk him, though. He's still my friend."
"He still mine, too. You don't deserve to be treated by him, though," he acknowledged. You kissed his cheek.
"I don't deserve to be your friend," you tried telling him.
"You deserve to be my date tonight, that's what you deserve," he said and rubbed the hairs on the back of his neck. You blushed. You held his hand in yours. He started driving. You ended up napping, it took about a half hour to get there. "We're here!" he said, waking you up. You looked over at him and smiled. You both got out of the car and found Evan and Tyler standing outside, waiting for you.
"What's up, guys?" Evan asked and held his hands out for a hug. You hugged him.
"Tired, happy, et cetera. How've the both of you been?" you asked them.
"That's good, and I've been okay," Tyler responded. Nogla kept looking at you and smiling. "What you looking at, Nogla?" Tyler teased . He smirked.
"I'll text you it," he told him. You walked over to Evan and started making small talk. Nogla texted the group chat that they all had together. You knew it because you felt a vibration out of Evan's pocket. He looked at it and laughed. That text said
