15 • Bristol

"Hey Brad?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind if George joins us on this trip?" Y/N asks him nervously. She thinks that Brad wouldn't be okay with George tagging along, despite them being close friends already.

"Of course not! I like him. I feel like he's been my best friend for years. He's a really decent lad. I don't mind him coming along." Brad says excitedly.

"Okay, that's great! I think it's great that you guys are getting along. I'll inform him." Y/N smiles. She unlocks her phone and immediately texts George that Brad is okay with him tagging along.

George isn't as excited as Brad. He still doesn't have the courage to tell Brad about his beloved father having cancer. He hates being a messenger. 

He's been a messenger before for Blake and Y/N and he didn't want to get involved in their 'love life'. They even asked him if he's interested in doing a threesome with them. Being the religious guy that he is, he said no. It didn't take long for Blake and Y/N to find another one, because Reece overheard their conversation and said he'd be happy to do it.

He didn't look at his friends for a month after that.

"George, mate!" Brad smiles and runs to him to give him a massive hug to which George happily returned. "Not going to lie, I missed you, mate." he chuckles.

"I missed you too." George smiles before pulling away from the hug. "Where's Y/N?"

"She answered a phone call and I'm guessing it was Blake who called. She had a cheesy grin on her face when she saw the caller ID." Brad shrugs.

"Did she bite her lip?"

"Yup."

"Definitely Blake. Why can't they just get together? They're making it complicated." George rolls his eyes and crosses his arms.

"I know right." Brad chuckles a bit. He's starting to like Y/N a bit, because she's so kind and funny and fun to be with. Although, Brad isn't sure if it's just infatuation or a massive crush. He needs to figure it out first.

"Hey George!" Y/N smiles a bit and pulls her best friend into a long hug.

"Hey, what's up?" George asks her, knowing that something's up. It's a God given gift of his to immediately know that something wrong has happened to his friends. His friends are so lucky to have him.

"Blake and I had an argument." Y/N mumbles, her face buried in her best friend's neck. George would never get used to it; he's ticklish in that area.

"What did you fight about?" George asks, feeling bad that his beloved lovebirds are in a fight.

"Blake's upset, because I'm not taking him on trips and he's jealous of Brad." Y/N whispers in George's ear so that only he can hear it. George made a small 'o' shape with his mouth and nods his head; understanding where Blake is coming from. He'd be jealous too. But if he were in Blake's position, he'd fully trust Y/N, because that's what's important in a relationship. Even though they obviously haven't made it official yet.

"Y/N, are you and Blake official?" George asks before pulling away from the hug.

"Nope. He's not making a move and I'm so worried about this thing. Let's go out for drinks tonight."

"Okay, but don't get drunk too much. I have to go back sober." George chuckles.

Y/N laughs but agrees with what George said and with that, they leave the train station (where they picked up George), and go to the museum and art gallery.

"I just agreed to come here, because Brad likes taking pictures and this is a good spot for aesthetic shit." Y/N says, trailing behind the two boys.

"Thanks for enduring this pain, Y/N." Brad says, who's fully focused on taking pictures on his new phone. He's really loving it and is taking good care of it. He even bought five different phone cases in case the other phone case breaks or whatever.

"My pleasure, Bradley." Y/N chuckles as she, herself, takes out her phone and takes a picture of Brad to post on her Instagram (after editing of course).

The picture didn't show his face, because his back facing her. So, it was just him standing in front of a painting whilst holding up his phone to take a picture of the painting.

Y/N described this moment as 'art looking at art'. It was quite cheesy, but cute nonetheless.

"Guys, let's get some food. I'm hungry." a familiar voice says. Y/N turns to face it and it was George. She forgot he even existed.

"Okay. Where do you want to eat?" Y/N asks.

"At this point, anywhere as long as it makes me full." George chuckles before walking towards the exit.

Y/N taps Brad's shoulder causing him to turn around and smile at her. "Hey, sorry to interrupt. It's time to leave. George is hungry." she chuckles.

"You could never interrupt me, Y/N." Brad smiles sweetly. "Let's go feed George then." he adds with a laugh.

Maybe it was the ambiance of the whole museum. Maybe it was the way Brad smiled. Maybe it was the way Y/N's worries seemed to disappear whenever she's with him. But something's definitely sparking up between the two of them although they're very clueless about it.
