"These feelings are fake.. We're just pretending." He told himself as he watched Millie laugh. He couldn't stop the bubbly feeling inside of him by just watching the way her lips parted upwards.
And in that moment Finn realized that he wasn't fakin...

Finn and Millie sat at a booth across from each other as they waited for their food patiently. The conversation between them was short and awkward.
For the first time in a long time there was a weird aura between them, and it made them uncomfortable. Talking usually came easy to them but now, the two struggled to even utter a single word out.
Finn knew it wasn't a good sign.
Millie cleared her throat trying to make conversation. "So uh— Are you still having a show sometime next week?" She asked before taking a sip from her coffee.
Finn instantly lit up. He cleared his throat. "Yes! Erm I mean yea." He said playing it off cool.
"Ayla and Malcom were able to book us a gig after the last panel."
"That's great." She smiled.
Finn nodded. "Are you still gonna be able to make it? It's okay if you can't. I know your busy and you probably just want to go back home—"
Millie scoffed. "Wolfhard! Of course I'm coming to your show! I made a promise. Besides.. what kind of number one fan would I be if I didn't attend your first show?" She laughed.
Finn beamed.
"Can I make a request?" She asked before taking another sip from her coffee.
Finn chuckled. "Always."
Millie grinned. "Don't stop believing." She said trying to hold back a laugh.
Finn smiled as he looked down at the table. "You know. We're strictly an indie rock type of band. I don't think the others would appreciate singing an acapella song." He laughed.
Millie pouted.
"But I'll see if the rest of the band is willing to make an exception." He gave in.
Millie instantly beamed. "Yess!! I can't wait to hear you guys play."
She looked so adorable. Finn couldn't wait any longer. This was it. Now was his chance.
"Millie I—" he began but was cut off by a familiar voice on the radio.
Both teens froze immediately turning their attention towards the speaker by the counter.
"We just got a new song to play for you all by the 18 year old singer Jacob Sartorius. He says the song is about a special girl and he hopes that she likes it. The song is called 'Better with you'."
Finn bit the inside of his cheek as he watched Millie flush a crimson red as Jacob's voice boomed from the speakers.
"I know that I wanna be with you, baby Yeah, I wanna get back Yeah tell me what you think about that, yeah You know that I wanna be with you, baby (I do, I do) 'Til then I gotta say that (say that), say that I'm fine, so fine I'm alright, but even better with you"
Finn didn't need to hear more to know that the song was written about Millie.
Millie looked up at Finn and gave him a small smile before looking back down to her plate. She tried to make it seem like she wasn't paying attention to the song.
Finn tried to not let the lyrics get to him, but he couldn't help but to let the words repeat in his head.
"Yeah, I wanna get back Yeah tell me what you think about that, yeah You know that I wanna be with you, baby."
They were getting back together. Jacob wanted Millie back and Finn thought it was unfair. Jacob didn't deserve her.
Once the song ended Millie cleared her throat awkwardly. "I'm sorry.. You were saying?" She turned her attention back to Finn.
Finn bit the inside of his bottom lip. How was he supposed to confess his feelings to her after Jacob wrote her a song basically confessing his feelings to her. He couldn't compete with that.
"I.. just wanted to say.. I can take care of Louie while your in Tokyo.. I mean that is if you decide to not take him." He gave her a toothless smile.
"Oh." She frowned slightly. "Uh thanks. I'll let you know." She said returning the toothless smile.
Finn deflated his shoulders as he sulked into the chair. He pushed his untouched plate away suddenly losing his appetite.
It was hard to confess his feelings when Millie had a bunch of dudes chasing after her. He couldn't compete with these other tools. He was a fool for even thinking he would actually have a chance with her.
