"have you really never played wii sports? it's a classic!" the brown-haired boy jokingly yells at you. you put your hands up in defense as you walk around the airport. "i only played mario games! it's not my fault my mom wouldn't buy me any other shit!" he chuckles at your attempt to convince him this crime wasn't as bad as he made it out to be. "that is definitely your fault. absolutely no excuses for not playing wii sports." he says, crossing his arms and shaking his head disapprovingly at you. giggling out an apology, your eyes meet and you instantly get butterflies. you know you shouldn't feel this way about a guy you had just met a couple hours ago, but he was damn charming. realizing that you had been staring a little too long, your eyes dart to the floor beneath you. as a result of this, you feel your cheeks grow warm with embarrassment. walking alongside each other, you hear schlatt clear his throat. 

"so, uh, where are you flying to?" he croaks out a sheepish attempt to keep the conversation between you two going. "oh, san diego. there's a company that wants me to work for them, and it'll pay better than what i'm doing here." you reply, trying not to say too much. he falls silent, causing you to look back up at him. "no shit? i'm going to san diego too." his expression showing hints of excitement he was trying to hide. you beam up at him, happy to know someone on the long plane ride. while silently thanking the universe for gifting this cute plane buddy, schlatt points at a starbucks. "you wanna get something?" you nod and head over to the barista together. before you get the chance to order your usual, the tall boy beats you to it. "we'll have two grande hot chocolates?" he points to the cake pops in the display case. "and two of those cake pop things, too please." the barista quickly turns around to make the order. "hey, you don't mind that i ordered for you, right? i forgot to ask, sorry." your eyes meet his again, you can see the concerned look on his face. you reassure him "oh no, no it's fine!" he smiles at you. "you can never go wrong with hot chocolate. it's like the universal hot drink, i think." he nods in response. "you wanna get a table? or go back to where we were sitting?" he gestures over to the uncomfortable plastic chairs you had both been sitting in for hours. "here is nice."

sitting down at a little table, you realize you never asked why he was flying to san diego. "um, why are you going to san diego? if you don't mind me asking." he raises his eyebrows. "oh, yeah i don't mind. my friends live there. and i guess its for my job, too." he looks out the window, noticing little raindrops gently landing on the glass. your curiosity starts to grow. "what's your job?" he lets out a sigh. "uh..it's kind of weird. promise you won't laugh." you hold up your hand, pinkie outstretched. "i pinky promise." "okay, first you pass notes, and now this? are you sure you're not 12?" he smirks at his comment. you put a hand over your heart, pretending you were truly offended at his sentence. "well fine then, i'll laugh at your job if you're gonna be an ass!" schlatt rolls his eyes, resting his elbow on the table, reaching out his pinky. you smile as you interlock your little fingers together. his gaze goes from your hands, to your eyes. making brief eye contact, only to be broken by you looking away and pulling your arm back to your sides. "so, what's your job?" you ask, breaking the silence. he readjusts in his seat before responding. "i was a twitch streamer, i played a lot of minecraft, rabbids, shit like that. i haven't streamed in months, though. i like youtube better, so i'm mostly on there now." he rests his chin in his hand as you let out a sigh of relief. "wow! i thought you were a male stripper or something! you scared me!" he smiles at you, almost falling into another staring contest, but was interrupted by the barista calling out your order. "i'll get it." he winks at you, instantly making you blush. he was right, you were acting 12. like a 12 year old who just watched twilight for the first time and thinks everybody is flirting with her. but you couldn't help it, he just brought out that embarrassing side of you that you tried so badly to hide. 

caught up in your own thoughts, you jolt back when schlatt sets your drink down in front of you. "thank you." you smile up at him. he returns the expression. "let me show you something. i'm about to change your life." you nod at him, silently telling him to go for it. he pulls his cake pop out of the little bag it resided in. he makes sure you're giving him his full attention as he slowly starts to lower the cakepop into the hot beverage. you raise your eyebrows. "wasn't expecting that now, were you?" you dismiss him with a nod. "i don't know what i was expecting in the first place." you smile at him. "is that really good? wouldn't it get soggy?" he continued dipping his treat into the chocolate. "you'd think it would, but it just makes it ten times better." he pulls the cake pop out of his drink, leaning it towards you. "you want to try?" you were hesitant, but gave him a small 'sure' to his question. expecting him to hand it off to you, you were caught off guard when he proceeded to feed you the cake pop. trying to play it off, you act like you knew that's what he was going to do the whole time. the brunette smiles and tries to hold in his laughter, witnessing your awkwardness. "isn't it good?" he raises an eyebrow. swallowing the chocolatey dessert, you cover your mouth and respond, "a lot better than i thought it would be, my life has definitely been changed." smiling, he looks at you. "your welcome." looking away from you and taking a bite from the cake pop he had shared with you moments ago. you decide to get your own treat out of the little paper bag it comes in. you eat it the way schlatt taught you, wondering if he had noticed. after finishing your cake pop and sipping your hot chocolate, you look back across from your seat and see schlatt scrolling through twitter, mindlessly taking off his hat and running a hand through his brown hair. 'how can someone be that attractive without even trying?'  you can't help asking yourself in your head. you find yourself drifting away from reality, getting lost in everything about the man in front of you. the way his leg bounces up and down to ease his restlessness, how his smile is lopsided, how he somehow manages to make muttonchops look attractive, just everything took your breath away. you were glad you get to spend your flight with him, instead of how you were planning to spend it, sat next to a nine year old and his mother with her baby. this seemed much more ideal in comparison. 

"y/n, you want to go back to where we were? these chairs are too small for my ass." you were abruptly pulled back into the small coffee shop. "oh, yeah! sure, sorry." you apologized, getting up and scooting your chair back into the small table. as you leave together he nudges you gently. "don't think i didn't notice you ogling over me, y/n." you roll your eyes. "shut up, schlatt. i just zoned out." he laughed. "zoning out on my thick thighs more like it." you playfully punched his arm, not appreciating the teasing you were getting. arriving back at the lobby where you had started off, you set down your stuff and start to sit down until you were interrupted by a loud voice coming over the intercom, echoing through the halls.

"flight 3965 is boarding." 

schlatt looks at you, muttering out a small "fucking finally." and started to gather his luggage. you two walk to the gates together and get ready to board, letting other passengers go by before you. as you walk onto the plane, you find your seat and put away your luggage before sitting down in the window seat of the aisle. the man you'd grown familiar with in the past three hours sits himself next to you, smiling when you notice. "turns out this flight won't be as long as we thought, huh?" he smirked at you before offering one of his airpods to you.
