Seeing the Thing

Epilogue

warnings: fluff

"We can totally turn this plane around," Gianna suggests.

You bite your lip before applying another layer of chapstick. The option was enticing, you were terrified of flying. There were very few choices you had however, because you would feel incredibly horrible about leaving Tom and Harrison waiting for you in London just to find out you weren't going.

"Nope, I'm good, just gonna listen to ABBA, hold your hand, and hope for the best."

"I could always give you a sleeping pill, you'd pass right out and not wake up until we get to Heathrow," Gianna shrugs as she squeezes your hand.

"No, as much as I would love that, I would rather not be half asleep when we get there."

"Okay, but if you sleep for the whole next day, don't say I didn't warn you."

The plane starts to taxi down the runway and the pilot makes the announcement that you're about to take off. Gianna implores you to look out the window with her but you just shake your head, pushing your headphones in while Take A Chance On Me starts to soothe you, bringing a warm smile to your face.

You listen to music through the turbulence, through each bump as you land in London. You only pull your headphones out when Gianna practically yanked them off, telling you to look out the window. You didn't see much, the airport runways. But the sun was setting and you knew you were in a different part of the world because when you left the states it was early in the morning.

"Wow, I made it," you laugh, smiling as Gianna and you search for your luggage.

"Oh my god, I don't know how you stand him," Gianna groans when you see Tom and Harrison standing at the entrance to pick you up.

Tom's holding a sign with your name in big block letters, waving wildly with a huge smile on his face.

"I put up with him because I didn't for too long."

"Oh shut up, you're ridiculously head over heels, I mean so is he, it's sort of cute."

"Are you and Haz just like an old married couple by now? Completely past the honeymoon stage?"

"Essentially," Gianna shrugs as you get to where your boyfriends were waiting. Gianna lets Harrison kiss her forehead before shoving him playfully and they do their handshake.

Tom is a little more dramatic, setting the sign down and hugging you, so tightly you think you'll run out of air for a moment before he sets you down.

"You made it!"

"I did," you laugh before he kisses you.

"Was a little scared I'd only see Gianna and I'd bring that goofy sign for nothing, but I'm really happy you're here."

"I said I'd try for you," you smile, resting your hands on his shoulders.

"I'm so proud of you," Tom grins before kissing you once more. You couldn't help but be proud of yourself as well.

"Are you two seriously going to get on a bus for a full day there and a full day back just to see the Cliffs of Moher?" Harrison asked, raising an eyebrow as you nodded excitedly.

"Listen, I have learned to love the Princess Bride, I've been there once as a kid, I think it'll be fun," Tom shrugs, taking a sip of his tea as you rest your head on his shoulder.

"Besides, we've got almost the whole summer to hang out together, we want a little getaway," you add.

"Right, as if you and Tom don't sneak off every two minutes or make out with each other in public," Gianna teases.
