Almost two hours had passed on the train, and it was just pulling into Paddington Station. He gathered his stuff and got off the bus, but standing there, waiting, was a familiar face.
He was standing there, leaning up on the side of a pole with his arm crossed, crazy hair and that cheesy smile of his.
"Dom?" Nate asked.
"Heeyyyy mannn!" Dom ran up to him and hugged him.
Nate was overflowed with excitement, seeing Dom had surprised him like this.
"Dom!" Nate hugged Dom back. This is crazy. I wasn't expecting that-"
Nate was interrupted by fans mobbing Dom. He was instantly covered in hugs and teenagers asking for photos. Dom obviously took his time with each one, hugging and taking pictures.
"Let's get a fookin KFC. I can't be fucked with fancy places now. I need some chicken for this London show man." Dom asked.
"I mean sure," Nate agreed, as they walked out of the station, and down the street.
"So, where are you from?" Dom asked.
"Cardiff. It's a good place but it's knife crime central at the moment."
"I did a Cardiff show last month." Dom replied.
"I know, I was there. I didn't get to meet you though."
"Aww, buttercup..." Dom stopped to look at Nate. Being slightly taller than Nate, he looked down and gently patted his head.
"Now you can."
"Buttercup? That's a cute nickname. I like it." Nate laughed as they carried on walking.
"You're quite calm considering you're a fan." Dom asked, curiously.
"I don't feel like a fan though. I feel like a friend."
"Aww, buttercup, that's adorable. You're cute. And a friend."
They reached the KFC, the red of the brightly shining logo almost blinded them.
"Now," Dom said seriously, "There's only one right answer for this question." He told Nate.
"Hot & Spicy Wings or Extra Crispy?"
"Hot & Spicy, I'm not dumb." Nate answered.
"Correct. You have taste." Dom giggled.
They ordered a bucket to share.
"Wanna go straight to the venue or eat in?" Dom asked.
"Let's go to the venue. I wanna meet Adam." Nate said.
"Alright then," Dom grabbed the bucket.
"Let's go man!"
