oki, on with the story, then

*a week later*

y/n pov: 

"Baby! Are you all packed?" Tony asked, walking into Addison and my room. 

"No, not yet!" I called back as I walked out of the bathroom, wringing my wet hair out with a towel.

"Y/n. Y'all are leaving for the airport in an hour." Tony sighed, handing me a hair brush. "What do you mean you aren't packed yet?"

"I've been procrastinating!" I laughed. 

Some of the Hype House members and I had booked a trip to the Bahamas for a week. We decided just a few days prior. Tony, Ondreaz and a few others weren't coming, though. 

"I don't understand why you and Ondreaz aren't coming though." I whined. "I'm going to miss you so much."

Tony walked over to me and placed his hands on my hips. "Baby, I told you. Ondre and I are visiting our family this week. I wish I could make it, but we'll just have to make up for lost time when you get back." He winked.

"Well at least I have Ryland." I sighed. 

"Don't get any ideas while you're there." Tony pointed a finger at me and I laughed, pulling away from his grasp. 

"You know I'd never do anything like that to you. I'm not Nick." I retorted. "Now if you love me, come help me finish packing."

"Yes ma'am." Tony replied, saluting. I giggled and he walked over to assist in my packing process.

We finished packing and Tony grabbed my bag to bring downstairs. 

"Are you excited for the Bahamas, cutie?" He asked, plopping my bag down by the door. 

I stood on my tippie toes and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Yes. But I would be a lot more excited if you were coming." I smiled and he leaned down and kissed me, gently. 

"I'm gonna miss you, babygirl." Tony sighed, kissing my neck, lightly. 

"Alright, lovebirds." Ryland laughed, walking over. "Save it for when we get back, please!" 

"Take a chill pill, bubs." I rolled my eyes and pulled away from Tony. 

"Nah I'm good. Anyway, the cars are going to be here in 2 minutes." Ryland replied. 

Everyone else who was coming piled by the door. We said our goodbyes to the members who weren't coming and brought our stuff out to the 2 Ubers when they arrived. 

"Be good, baby." Tony said, kissing my forehead and lips. 

"Same goes for you, cutie." I giggled, poking his nose. 

I got into one of the Ubers with 3 other members. There were a total of 8 of us going. I got into a car with Nick, Ryland and Thomas. In the other car was Dixie, Charli, Kouvr and Alex. Everyone finished packing their stuff into the ubers and we were off. 

The car set up was Thomas sitting in the front seat of the car with Ryland, Nick and I in the backseat. 

Thomas turned around with his vlog camera and zoomed in on me. "So how's it feel to be away from Tony for a week, y/n?"

I sighed. "Well, I think I'll be a little sad but I'll survive. Tony on the other hand? I'm not so sure he'll make it."

Thomas laughed. "Well at least you get to be in the cool car."

"THOMAS CAN WE STOP AT CANE'S?!" Nick yelled into the camera.

"What that kid said." Ryland laughed, pointing at Nick. 

"Guys, we on't have time." Thomas replied. "We have to be at the airport in 10 minutes if we're going to make it through customs and security on time."

"Nah. We have time." Ryland said, straight-faced.

"Ryland, Cane's is literally 30 minutes out of the way." I giggled, slapping his arm. 

"Bitch, I don't give a fuck. I just want some chicken, okay?!" Ryland yelled back.

"Kids, calm down." Thomas laughed. 

Surprisingly, we got to the airport on time. However, it was packed!

"Y'all I fucking hate airports." Alex said into this vlog camera. 

The 8 of us checked our bags in and walked into the security line. The whole thing took about an hour to get through and we all barely made it to the gate on time. They were already boarding so we didn't have to wait, we literally just walked onto the plane from there. 

"Hm. B-12." I muttered to myself, trying to find my seat. "Ah, there we go. Yes, window seat!"

I settled down in my seat, glad that I was still the first person there. Hopefully I didn't have to sit next to a stranger. 

"Oh hey, y/n." Someone said as I was watching out the window. I turned around and saw Nick standing there.

"Hiya, Nick. Are you my row, buddy?" I asked. He nodded and I smiled. "Dammit. I knew I was going to have to sit next to a creep." 

"Yeah, yeah. You're fuckin' hilarious, y/n." Nick rolled his eyes, plopping down next to me. 

I placed my hand on his shoulder and he looked at me. "Just jokes, Nicky." I smiled which he returned. 

There were still about 10ish minutes until the flight started so I soaked up the time that I had left on the good WIFI from the airport. After a bit, they turned the engine on and we started moving. I hadn't really thought about it, but when we got to the start of the runway, I looked over at Nick, remembering his fear of flying. He looked very nervous.

"Hey, Nick. It's gonna be okay. We're gonna be fine." I smiled, grabbing his hand. He looked at me and blushed. 

"I know. I just hate the idea of possibly dying on a flight." He sighed.

"Well, you've done this once and you can do it again. I had you then and I still gotcha now." I replied, giving his hand a tight squeeze. 

"Thanks, y/n." Nick smiled. 

As the plane sped forward down the runway, Nick's grip on my hand tightened. I could feel his whole body tensing up so I did the only thing that I thought could maybe make him feel better. I kissed his cheek and leaned my head on his shoulder. I felt his grip on my hand loosen and his body relax, slightly.

The next thing I knew, the plane was flying steady in the air. 

"Great job, Nicky." I smiled, picking my head up from his shoulder. 

"Only 5 hours and 45 minutes to go." Nick sighed, looking at the map of our flight on the TV screen on the seat. I squeezed his hand again before letting go. 

"It'll all be worth it when we land, Nick." I reassured him. "No worries."
