Just You - Finn Wolfhard x Reader

22. Stay

Finn's POV

I'm just about to fall asleep on the couch when I hear Zara yell, "Double date!"
"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of that?" Millie shrieks in response. "Can I come?" I ask jokingly as I yawn and stand up. I'm probably not going to be able to fall back asleep anyways.
"Sorry, I was thinking of going with someone else." Zara says to me sarcastically. I sit down next to her at her kitchen table.
"Where should we go?" Millie asks us.
"I don't know. We could go on a picnic, maybe see a movie, or just go for..." Zara lists but I cut her off.
"Let's go to that carnival that's coming tomorrow!" I shout as I gently shake Zara's arm, trying to convince her.
"That's actually a really good idea! Millie do you think Noah would like that?" She asks Millie with a huge grin on her face.
"I think he really would! And it's a good excuse for Noah to get me a stuffed animal." She squeals.
"I'll win one for you." I say as I turn to Zara, grabbing her hand.
"Or I'll win you one." She smiles as she ruffles my hair.
"You two are so cute together!" Millie gushes as she starts to stand up from her seat at the kitchen table.
"Where are you going?" I ask her as she picks up her purse.
"It's getting late and I have an early morning shoot. But should we meet up at the carnival at six?" She questions. I look at Zara and she smiles back with a nod.
"Works for us." I tell Millie.
"Great! See you then!" She replies as she waves goodbye, opens the door and walks into the night. Now it's just Zara and I. I notice that the sky is really dark and I start to wonder what time it is. I pull out my phone and the bright light from the screen illuminates, casting a pale glow throughout the room. It's 12:43 am.
"It's late, I should go." I tell her as I put my phone in the pocket of my grey sweatpants. I don't really want to leave, but she looks tired and I don't want to bother her.
"Aww, do you have to go?" She replies, grabbing my hand.
"Well, nobody told me I had to." I smirk.
"Then stay." She adds.
"Okay." I smile as lift up her hand and kiss it.
"Want to finish High School Musical?" She suggests as she stands up.
"Hell yeah!" I reply.
"Okay, I'm just gonna go and change out of this dress." She walks into her bedroom.
A few minutes pass, and she steps back into the room. She's wearing simple pink pyjamas and her hair is in a messy bun.

walks back to her grey couch and sits down.
as I sit down next to her. I wrap her in my arms and she turns on the TV. I start to watch and really get into the storyline, and when I look back at her, she's fast asleep.

Zara's POV

I wake up with Finn's arms wrapped around me. He's still asleep, and I don't want to wake him, so I lie back down and give him the most gentle squeeze I can muster. He's so sweet. I turn towards the gold clock on my wall.

It reads 7:15. That's when I realize that I need to be at the costume department at exactly 8. For some reason, I'm always late when I'm with Finn. I decide that I should wake Finn up, so I delicately slap his cheek a few times until his eyes open.
"Good morning to you too." He mumbles.
"Sorry Finnie, but we're gonna be late if we don't get up." I say quietly as I start to stand up from the couch, but before I can, Finn pulls me in for a hug. I hug him back, taking in his scent.
"Fine." He sighs softly as we let go of each other and start to get up.
"I'm going to start getting ready." I say.
"Okay. I'm gonna go to my trailer and change." Finn adds. He hugs me one more time, and leaves. I walk into my bedroom, and into the bathroom. I take a quick shower and blow-dry my hair. I don't style it because the lovely ladies in the hair and makeup department will take care of that for me. When I'm all dry, I step into my closet. For a trailer, it's ginormous. But, then again, these are luxury trailers and we do get to go to lots of events and red carpets, and award ceremonies. All those outfits have to go somewhere. I take a look around, but there are so many options that I still can't really choose.

I eventually decide to go simple, and I put on a soft, white turtleneck with long sleeves. I throw on a pair of black jeans and to complete the look, a simple gold pendant necklace.

I slip on some black boots with a small heel and I step out onto the road and start walking to the costume department. I check my phone and the time is 7:56 am. Good. I'll end up making it there just in time. When I open the glass doors, I see Finn standing up next to a black stool and the costume lady, Camila, taking some new measurements with a yellow tape measure. That boy is always growing, I think to myself as I walk in. The walls are lined with rows and rows of costumes.

The other wall is covered in shelves that have neat rows of storage bins holding any sort of prop you could possibly imagine.

As I walk in, Camila notices me and calls out.
"Hey, hon! Just step into dressing room number 3 and try the outfit on for me, alright?" She adds as she tosses her blonde hair behind her shoulders and continues to measure Finn. He smiles at me and I smile back and head into the dressing room. I open the wooden door, step in, then lock it behind me. I turn towards the rack in that holds the outfits and I freeze.
We're going to have a problem with this one.
