The pair start to walk around London. Brad is still in awe about everything. How can he be not in awe? He's in the city he's always dreamed of. It's different from seeing it in pictures and seeing it in real life. Brad has this glimmer in his eyes that can be easily seen by people and for the first time in his whole life, he's happy.
"Hey Brad, have you ever ice skated before?" Y/N asks as she stops walking causing Brad to stop walking too.
"No, I haven't. Why?" Brad asks, not aware of what Y/N's plan.
"Good, because we're doing that now." Y/N smiles and nods toward the ice skating rink that's open at night. There are not too many people, but that's alright.
"I didn't bring my money with me..." Brad says sadly.
Y/N chuckles, "Silly lad. This whole London trip is MY gift to YOU. I'll pay for it. Besides, it's nicer at night. Let's go and I'm not taking no for an answer."
"Fine." Brad sighs as he follows Y/N to the ice skating rink.

"Just let go of that and hold my hand!" Y/N laughs.
"I can't! I'm scared that you might leave me tripping or something!" Brad freaks out.
"I promise I won't! I can't leave you here and I'm not mean." Y/N chuckles. "Just trust me, Brad. Hold my hand."
Brad looks at her for awhile before giving in. He realized that he can't keep holding on to the bar at the side the whole time. He'll eventually learn. He grabs her hand and Y/N helps him.
"It's pretty easy, but we'll skate together first then let of my hand if you think you're ready. Okay?" Y/N asks.
"Okay." Brad responds.
"Y/N, I think I'm ready to skate." Brad says after about an hour of skating together. Y/N smiles before slowly letting go of his hand.
He slightly loses his balance at first, but starts getting a hang of it and he starts skating slowly. Y/N skates beside him just in case he falls. She doesn't want him to be ashamed when he falls, so she's there just in case he starts to lose balance.
"Oh my god, Y/N I'm doing it!" Brad cheers.
"Yeah! I'm proud of you!" Y/N smiles at her friend's victory.
Brad starts skating at a regular pace, taking in his surroundings, because he doesn't know if he'll come back here again.

"Sooo, how was your first ever ice skating experience?" Y/N nudges him with her elbow as they start walking again.
"It was amazing! Thank you so much, Y/N!! I owe you big time!" Brad smiles. "Wow. My first time ice skating is at my dream city. I'm honestly over the moon about all of this."
"I'm glad you're happy." Y/N beams.
Y/N likes making people happy. Especially people who deserve to be happy.

"I'm sort of getting hungry." Brad says.
"Same here. Let's look for a place to eat!" Y/N says as she looks around. She immediately finds one and drags herself and Brad to it.
She orders for herself and Brad as he takes a seat and folds his arms on the table and rests his head on it.
"Hey, are you okay?" Y/N asks causing Brad to look up at her. Y/N puts the food on the table and they begin to eat.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks for everything, by the way. I loved every second of it!" Brad smiles.
"You really think that's it? Bradley, we're staying here for two days and two nights." Y/N casually tells him. "Oh, and surprise by the way!"
"No way. Oh my god. THANK YOU!!" Brad says as he goes around the table to hug her. She chuckles and hugs back. "You're welcome."
"You're the best!" Brad chuckles as he pulls away from the hug and goes back to his seat.
"I'm pretty sure you'll like this next place we're going to. It's the last tour of the day, or night rather." Y/N stands up to leave with Brad following her.

"So, where exactly are we going?" Brad asks curiously.
"If I tell you, it won't be fun anymore." Y/N shrugs.
"Fine, but are we there yet? My feet are killing me."
"Trust me, this long walk is worth it! You'll see."
"It better be."
"We're here! You mentioned to me on the train ride here that you've always wanted to go here to see everything. You said it's where you've always wanted to go if you ever find yourself here, in London." Y/N smiles as she looks up at the large ferris wheel.
The infamous London Eye.
Brad is speechless. He couldn't find the words to describe how happy he is.
"Let's go." Y/N says and they fall in line.
*
The wait in line wasn't long and they were able to go in within three minutes. The cabin they're in begins to go up and Brad squeals in excitement causing Y/N to chuckle at her new found friend.
"I owe you big time. I didn't spend a single dime on this trip. Please let me spend a bit, so your can save your money." Brad pleads.
"Fine, but don't spend too much. London isn't our only stop, remember? We're going on tour." Y/N chuckles.
"Of course! It'll be my first time buying things with my own money." Brad tells her.
"Good for you." Y/N giggles.
The cabin finally reaches the top and the view is absolutely breathtaking. If only Brad had a camera or some sort, he'd definitely take loads of pictures to treasure every moment.
Y/N looks out and smiles to herself, "This is the life, Brad."
"Holy shit." Brad mutters quietly as he takes in the night view of London, "If this was living, I've been dead for a long time."
