after the group of 7, consisting of finn, jack, jaeden, sophia, wyatt, sadie and noah, all finished their dinner, they made their way back to the hotel. noah decided to stay the night at the hotel that night, because he just didn't feel like going home. everyone was cool with it, though, they just decided to change the sleeping arrangements.

it took everyone in the group a little while to realize the couch in the living room had a pullout bed, which came to surprise by everyone. jack and finn volunteered to take the pullout bed, wyatt and jaeden were in a bed in the bedroom, so were sophia and sadie. noah took the floor, he was totally okay with it, he didn't mind.

since finn and jack were on the pullout bed, they were alone in the living room with nobody else around and the bedroom door was closed, so instead of going to sleep when everyone else decided to, they stayed up talking in bed. although despite being alone in the room, they still talked soft and quietly.

they laid on their sides, facing each other while they spoke. there was a dim lamp that kept the room light so the two could clearly see each other.

"so, why did millie bail?" jack asked finn very straight forwardly. finn didn't respond quickly, instead he took a moment to think, breaking his eye contact with jack as he thought. he knew he told millie he wouldn't tell anyone, but it was jack, someone he knew he could trust. finn sighed, before bringing his eyes back to jack's.

"promise you won't tell anyone?" finn asked, to which jack nodded. finn was still slightly hesitant to tell jack, until jack put out his pinky.

"pinky promise." jack said, to which finn smiled and quietly laughed as he intertwined his pinky with jack's.

"you know the rules, if you break the promise i get to break your pinky." finn said with a soft smile, causing jack to smile and playfully roll his eyes.

"fine, whatever." jack responded as they let go of each other's pinky fingers. finn took a deep breath before telling jack, still feeling guilty although he knew the secret was safe with jack.

"millie is jealous of all the attention sophia is getting from sadie," finn started. that slightly surprised jack, but he couldn't respond before finn kept speaking. "she thinks that sadie is eventually gonna like sophia more than her."

"really?" jack asked, to which finn nodded. "i mean, i can see where millie is coming from, but both sadie and sophia know boundaries, right? doesn't she know that?"

"i told her that, but i guess it's not such a crazy thought. sadie basically ignored millie's messages all day, and i know they were busy having fun. but, i don't know, seems kinda weird i guess." finn said with a shrug afterwards.

"yeah." jack said, before looking away for a moment. "are you sure that's it, though? that was all she mentioned for why she didn't show?" he asked, causing finn to hesitate in confusion. jack looked back at finn to see a unsure expression on his face.

"i'm not sure. honestly, i feel like she's been quite distant with me lately, too. so maybe that had something to do with it as well? i don't know." finn responded. jack knew that, though. everyone else knew that, it was obvious that there was some tension between finn and millie, and there had been for a little while.

"you think?" jack said with a slight laugh, before shaking his head and continuing to speak. "but, yeah, it's kinda obvious."

"i don't even know what happened, it's just like one day she was suddenly distant." finn shrugged again. finn obviously didn't remember what happened, but jack definitely did.

"i don't know if this is the reason, but she liked you for, like, a super long time but then noah ended up telling you before she did. i think that maybe made her feel awkward." jack responded, shrugging as well. finn sighed in response, shaking his head.

"i guess that makes sense. i just don't get why that's making her distant, it's not like the fact that she used to have a crush on me changes my opinion on her, she's still one of my best friends." finn replied. jack nodded in response as silence fell between them.

they both laid in silence for a moment. finn was busy thinking, not about anything specific, but mostly what him and jack had just been talking about. he was scared that everything was starting to get complicated, his life, his friends' lives, everything was just starting to change. that felt terrifying to him, but he couldn't figure out why.

finn got distracted by his thoughts when jack yawned. it completely brought finn's attention back to jack. he laughed in response to jack's yawn, realizing that jack was very tired.

"i think you need to go to sleep." finn said to him, to which jack tiredly nodded in response. jack didn't say much, but finn reached over jack and turned off the lamp, watching the room get dark. finn pulled jack closer, causing him to cuddle up to finn. "i love you, through all the stars in the universe." finn spoke quietly, as jack looked up to finn. it was dark, but jack could still make out finn's features. he knew them all too well.

"and the moon is us." jack responded with a smile on his face, before closing his eyes and getting comfortable next to finn.

they both drifted off to sleep, jack falling asleep way before finn. but they were still happy, wishing to stay in this moment forever.
