Tom's POV
We were all walking to the car, and I glance over at (y/n) waiting for everyone else to get in the car. Edd was driving, Matt was sitting in the front seat and I was sitting in the back with (y/n). I usually never sit in the back, but today was the exception since she was here. I glance over at her only to see her looking out the window up at the clouds. Goddamn, she's beautiful. Wait, no. No she's not. Wait yes she is. I.... oh my god. I try shaking the thoughts of her out of my head, but each time I think about her I can't help but dream about those striking eyes of her's compared to my black orbs. It's just her in general. I don't want to think she's beautiful, but she is. I've never seen a girl like that before...
"What're you staring at?"
Oh shit, she caught me.
"What? I'm spacing out! Shut up." I huff and turn around.
"Okay, damn." She says lowly. I honestly feel sort of bad for being aggressive with her. She doesn't deserve that since she's done nothing wrong.
(Y/n) POV
I don't understand. He's so hostile towards me and I don't know what I did. I feel shitty to be honest, but maybe he's like that with everybody? I don't know. Whatever. I look out the window again and see the cars of all different colors zip by the highway. I've always liked watching cars for some reason, I just like cars in general. Probably why I chose to drive a stick shift and not automatic, haha. But anyways, I think I'm going to start to get used to hanging out with these guys. They honestly seem like great people. Edd is really nice and is kind of like the dad of the group, since he's mature and stuff. Matt is nice, but I've noticed he's a little full of himself. I mean, there's no harm in self love, so I let him do him. Then there's Tom. He's aggressive, always seems to be in a bad mood, and drinks a little too much. Is he an alcoholic or something? I have no clue. But he's also really attractive. Like genuinely really really handsome. I feel like if I got to know him better he'd be nicer to me. Maybe his rudeness is a cover up and the real him is friendly. I feel the car lull to a stop and I take notice we have arrived to the movies. We all begin to climb out of the car and walk towards the doors. As I was about to pull the door handle, I feel someone already pull it open for me, offering me to step inside first. I look up and realize it's Tom.
"Please, just get inside." He says and I notice a faint shade of pink on his face as he looks slightly away from me. I can tell he's trying to be nice, so I accept his offer.
"Thank you, Tom. I appreciate it." I give him a genuine smile. He rolls his "eyes" a little and walks next to me when we're all inside. We were checking out the movie options, and I took notice that there were quite a few horror movies that have come out.
"Hey, what do you guys think about watching a horror movie?" I question to them.
"That actually doesn't sound half bad, what do you guys think?" Edd says to Tom and Matt.
"Yeah! I'm down for that!"
"Sure, whatever."
We decided to watch Midsummer, which has sort of been the hype on commercials recently. I hear it's scary, but I'm into that kind of shit anyways. As we get tickets and snacks, we begin to walk into the theater. Taking our seats in the back row because I don't want some ghostly hand touching up on my shoulder during the movie 24/7, Matt sat in between Tom and Edd, and I sat next to Tom. We were all watching the trailers of upcoming movies first, and since they got boring, I decided to attempt to make small talk with Tom.
"Hey, so are you excited to watch the movie?" I question.
"Eh, yeah I guess, I've seen a lot of stuff for it, so it'd be cool to see what all the chant is about. I really don't hope it's rubbish." He answers, I chuckle at his response slightly and nod.
"Yeah, I get what you mean. I'm really into horror movies, I like the thrill, I guess." I say as he turns is face towards me and gives me a slight smirk. Not the seductive type of smirk, just a genuine one. I can't help but smile back. But all of a sudden, the movie started.
~Time skip to the middle end of the movie~
It was getting real scary, and I wasn't the only one thinking that. I look around to the rest of the people in the theater and they were all practically on their feet trying to be prepared for another jump scare. I glance over at Tom to see that he was slightly nervous, as well. Next thing you know, I jump scare pops up and I scream, but what I didn't notice is that I subconsciously intertwined by fingers with Tom's. However, he didn't pull back, and held my hand tighter since he was startled too. Maybe it's just because there was a jump scare, I shouldn't think anything of it.
Tom's POV
She grabbed my hand. She actually grabbed my hand. Why is that making me excited? Why am I happy about that? I hold her hand for the rest of the movie until we reached the credits. We all stand up as I let go of her hand and we begin to chatter about the movie.
"I really liked it, it was well made." Edd said with a chuckle.
"Wayyyy too scary for me, I must say!" Matt commented.
"Oh come on, Matt. I wasn't that scary." I roll my eyes at him.
"That's a lot coming from you, Tom! I saw how tightly you held (y/n)'s hand for a part of the movie." He smirked.
"Why you little-!" I try to walk toward him but Edd put a firm hand on me instead.
"Knock it off." He gives me a glare.
"What the fuck! But he started it!" I try to argue.
"Save the arguing for Tord, now let's go." He lets go of  my shoulder and we begin walking once again.
"Who's Tord?" (Y/n) asks.
"A bitch, is what he is." I reply. "We don't talk about him."
"Um, okay?" She says and begins to walk. I stride next to her and glance at her just for a little bit. She looks up at me and smiles, so I smile back.
"How'd you like the movie?" I question.
"Hm? Oh yeah, I liked it. It was a good movie." She chuckles.
"I liked it too," I say. We then smile at each other. However, our hands were touching a little so I decided to take the risk and slightly wrap my pinky around her's.
"What're you doing?" She questions. I then swap my hand away from her, realizing how stupid I am.
"Nothing, it was nothing. Let's just go to the car.." I huff and stomp over to the vehicle. What the hell is wrong with me?
(Y/n)'s POV
He did that on purpose.
