His Effect [h.s] AU

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭?

The next morning, I awake because of Four's phone going off with a text message every second. I tried ignoring the first two notifications, but when they kept on coming I was groaning and sitting up on the bed.

His bed was empty and the blankets were tousled signaling he was probably in the bathroom somewhere. The flash alert to his phone kept going off and when I stood up to hand it to Four wherever he was, the phone dinged once again and this time it displayed the various messages on the screen.

Zach

1:35 AM

Zach

1:35AM

Zach

Zach

10:43 AM

Zach
U better not be fucking dead, we've got shit to do.
11:01 AM

As I was about to read the last text message, the phone is being snatched from my hands by Four who was shirtless and his curls were wet.

"What are you doing?" He questions, looking at me before looking at the screen and shoving the phone in his pocket.

"It woke me up." I say truthfully. After getting a glance of the messages I was curious as to what Zach was talking about and why he was texting Four so much in the early hours of the morning.

As curious as I was though, I wasn't going to ask him about his business and let him know I was snooping around on his phone. He'd probably get the wrong idea and think I was being jealous or something when we're not even dating.

Besides, Four works with Zach sometimes by dealing so they were probably talking about that.

"Um, what are we doing today?" I ask, changing the subject and breaking the silence that fell between us. Four slips his shirt on and shakes his hair in an attempt to dry it.

"I've got work later on today so I'm afraid I'll have to take you home." He says and stuffs his toothbrush inside his duffel bag. I was kind of disappointed, I didn't want to go home just yet. I was having fun with him and last night had more of an effect on me where I felt like I needed to be close to him. "Make sure you don't leave anything behind."

He says and walks out with his bag. His attitude was a bit more aloof today, almost like when we met and whenever his friends would show up to interrupt us.

Did he regret what happened last night? Because I didn't, and if he did then I'll just have to deal with it even though part of me wishes that he enjoyed every second of it just as much as I did.

Once I'm all packed, he's waiting for me outside on his phone and when he sees me he hangs up and nods to the car. As I'm looking in my bag to double check that I have everything, I notice a pair of my clean panties missing and my favorite one at that.

Four must've seen me pouting because he looks over at me. "What's wrong?" He asks, turning his attention back to the road and then back to me.

"I'm missing my favorite pair of panties." I say, looking at him with sad eyes and it made him stifle a laugh. I was glad he was being back to normal.

"Were they lucky or something?" He remarks making me roll my eyes at him. "Didn't I tell you to double check everything? Do you want me to go back? It'll be a pain in the ass since we're thirty minutes away now but if you need them.."

"No, it's okay." I sigh defeated. I guess I was just going to have to go shopping again for another pair just like them. Four nods and clears his throat which made me turn to him. Maybe I should listen to Madi and ask Four if he wanted to be my plus one to my parents anniversary.

"Such a overused line but, if you see something you like take a picture." He comments making me throw my head back in a mock laugh but take my phone out anyway and snap a picture of him.

Four looks at me with furrowed brows before a smirk sets on his lips. "So," I start out. "How do you look in a suit?"

"Odd question." He says while keeping his eyes on the road. "I can pull one off, why?"

"Well, my parents have this annual anniversary thing and each time they come out with a bettered version of their wine." I explain and Four nods along. "The party is mainly a business meeting to get investors and whatnot and I can bring a plus one."

"And you want me to come with?" He questions with uncertainty and I nod. "When is it?"

"In two weeks, I was meaning to ask you earlier but I thought we weren't close yet." I shrug.

"So you thought after last night, we're close now?" Four says rather rudely, taking me aback. He's been acting strange since last night and this morning and has never once been rude to me, except for right now.

"Well, yeah?" I say unsure of myself now. I wasn't sure what changed in Four in the last few hours of us being with each other, but something tells me it has to do with Zach and those messages that had him in an off mood. "And now by your silence I'm thinking maybe not.." I trail off and watch as Four runs his fingers through his curls.

I watch as he debates something in his mind before his hand goes to mine on my lap and intertwines our fingers, making my stomach do flips.

"I'll be there." He says and gives me a reassuring smile before he diverts his gaze back to the road, our hands still glued together.

I bite my lip to suppress my stupid grin but I don't think that helped with the blushing. He drives with Coldplay silently playing in the background.
