Animal| Tom Holland

An expectation was set as he rang the doorbell, carrying a bag of snacks for the night; Zendaya comfy in her hoodie and colourful pajama pants yet still looking beautiful.

He never took in the possibility of her having another man over, and he made that visible by flinching a little in surprise the moment the door hauled open to reveal you.

Shivers crawled down his spine as your eyes gazed into his for a few seconds.

You finally loosened the tension with a friendly smile, stepping aside to let him in. He could feel eyes glued onto him before you called out to Zendaya.

Weirdly enough, Tom felt uneasy and didn’t exactly know how to loosen the tension himself verbally. He didn’t have the voice to do so, it was caught in his throat out of malaise. He found himself sneaking a couple of glances towards your figure as painfully awkward seconds ticked by.

Apparently, he was the only one feeling that way considering how comfortable and at peace you looked. 

Relief replaced the churning feeling in his stomach the moment he heard quick footsteps rushing down the stairs.

Zendaya smiled and greeted him. He was right with his expectation earlier, it was just the wrong time. Then, randomly, the two of you shared a handshake, which threw Tom way off.

She answered the multiplying questions rushing through his mind and introduced you to him and vice versa. “He’s my brother.” You offered a brief smile in response.

“Oh.” Tom’s eyes went towards you. “You never told me.. he was your brother?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” The two of you chorused with almost identical expressions. 

Tom let out a confused chuckle before keeping his mouth shut. This was way too weird for his head to wrap around.

“Anyway,” She walked off to flop onto the couch and he followed suit, attempting to get away from the weird feeling in his lower stomach yet soon realizing his plan failed when you flopped beside him. “We’re watching Lion King if you guys don’t mind. Then we can chill, do whatever, maybe go out. I’m feeling lazy today.”

“Aren’t you always?” You teased, receiving an exaggerated eye roll from her.

She pulled her laptop onto her lap, quickly paying for the movie.

“Why not Far From Home?”

“Been there, done that.”

A fake, offended look made its way naturally onto his face.

“Bullshit, he was steaming after the movie. You should’ve seen his face when Mysterio did a 180 on you.” She laughed a little.

He heard you grumble under your breath, a small smile growing on his lips. “Just play the movie.”

And with a click, the movie started on the TV screen.

Tom realized he still had snacks in his bag, leaning down to zip it open and offering snacks to the both of you. 

He shyly pulled out a tiny bottle of banana milk, hearing Zendaya giggle. “Shut up.”
