-

Y/n smiles at the sight and sound of the ocean waves. Even though it was raining outside of the bus top she's sitting under, everything felt calm to her

She's snapped out of her thoughts, however, when her bus finally shows up. Y/n quickly drags her head back out of the clouds and gets on. Once seated, she puts her headphones in before letting her thoughts drift again.

As she's sitting there, she gets a text from Wilbur.

> Wilbur: where are you I'm lonely :(

> Y/n: I'm almost there clingybur dw

> Wilbur: I'm not clingy, Tommy's the clingy one

> Y/n: hmmm are you sure about that? >->

> Wilbur: yes

> Y/n: I'll be there in 5 minutes

Y/n gets off the bus a little while later. She finds the address Wilbur had sent her and finds him waiting outside the restaurant under an umbrella. She runs up beside him to stand under the umbrella as well.

"Where's your umbrella?" Wilbur scolds her lightly. "Or raincoat?"

"I didn't think it would rain this much!" She replies, laughing a little. "But I like the rain anyway, so I'm fine,"

He smiles in amusement. "Well, shall we?"

Y/n nods and follows him inside. They get seated at a window-side table shortly after.

"I sort of hoped that the rain would let up so we could sit outside," Wilbur admits.

"But nature is gross, who wants to be out there?" She replies with a smirk.

"Very true," He chuckles. "So, what do you do for fun? Hobbies?"

"Well, Tommy got me into Minecraft a while back, so I play that when I have free time," Y/n remarks. "Otherwise I draw every once and a while...What about you?"

"Well I like making music," Wilbur says. "But that and streaming is pretty much all I do,"

"It's more exciting than what I do,"

"Tommy said you edit videos for a living,"

"Yep. I do freelance work usually, sometimes I take an extra job like as a waitress or something if I need more money," Y/n tells him.

"Are you taking editing jobs right now...?" He asks tentatively with a smile.

"Perhaps I am," She replies teasingly. "Why? Does the world-famous Wilbur Soot need a video made?"

"Just maybe," Wilbur shrugs. "But anyway, this is lunch, not business. You have a cat, don't you?"

They talk for a while. He tells her more about Brighton and about himself in general, and she tells him about herself and the U.S..

It was easy to talk to him. Before Y/n knows it, 2 hours have passed just from their conversations.

"Do you want to go see a movie maybe?" Wilbur asks as they walk out of the restaurant. He opens up his umbrella to protect them both from the rain. "There's a cinema nearby we can go to,"

"Sure!" She replies. "Lead the way,"

-

"Today was fun Wilbur, thank you," Y/n says as they walk away from the theater later that evening.

"Of course!" He smiles awkwardly at her. "Do you want me to drive you home?"

"Oh- okay!" She replies. "As long as you don't kidnap me or anything,"

"Nah. I've already committed enough crimes this year," Wilbur jokes. "I don't need to add kidnapping to the list. My current next goal is tax evasion,"

Y/n rolls her eyes in amusement. "Well thank goodness for that,"

They walk back to his car. Y/n almost climbs in the driver's seat because she forget's it's on the left side rather than the right. Wilbur teases her for it, and she knows that he would never let it down even afterward.

"Well I'm sorry I was born American," She huffs.

"You've been here for weeks already though-!"

"Oh hush!" Y/n crosses her arms and shoots him a playful glare.

"Imagine driving on the right side of the road," He laughs.

"Imagine saying chips instead of fries,"

"Because that's the right way to say it!"

"Would you like some tea and crumpets Wilbur Soot?" She says in a horrendous British accent.

"That's just rude," It's Wilbur's turned to let out an annoyed huff. His voice abruptly changes to one of a mocking American accent in return. "I'm sorry Y/n, but we need to stop and get some gas before we return to your apartment,"

"You mean 'petrol' and 'flat'?" Y/n continues in her own teasing tone of voice.

"You're just as insufferable as Tommy,"

She gasps and punches him in the arm. "How dare you?!"

"I'm sorry!" Wilbur stifles his laughter. "I was kidding I swear!"

"I'm gonna call you and make fun of you while you're streaming in front of your viewers!"

He smiles a little wider at that. His next words are heavy with sarcasm. "Oh no, anything but that..." After they begin driving, he adds. "You can join my stream any time you want though,"

"I'm gonna call you and flirt with you on stream," Y/n threatens with a smirk.

Wilbur opens his mouth to speak, but he just ends up smiling and staying quiet. The rest of the trip is spent in comfortable silence, except for when Y/n gives him directions.

"This is it," She says after a while. He nods and pulls over in front of her apartment building. "I'll call you later, okay?"

"I look forward to it," His smile returns. "Can I talk to you about video editing then too?"

"Sure thing," Y/n steps out of the car and onto the sidewalk. "See you later, thanks again,"

"Bye Y/n,"

"Goodbye Wil,"

After she steps inside her building, Y/n whispers a "yes" to herself quietly.

-

Later that evening, she's working again when he calls. The two of them talk together for a while, even though they had just spent hours doing that anyway. They mostly talk about her editing his vods into videos, since he was in need of a new editor.

After that they go back to normal casual talk.

"Anyway, I should get going," Wilbur finally says. "I told Tommy I would join his stream soon,"

"You're leaving me for the child?" Y/n fake-pouts for a moment. "Just kidding,"

"Believe me, I would much rather be talking to you than yelling at Tommy at the moment," He chuckles. "I'll talk to you later,"

"See ya,"

He hangs up. Y/n goes back to her editing for a little while before checking Twitch. Tommy was indeed live. He was doing a Q&A/story time stream. She opens it and listens for a little while. It was mostly just him, Wilbur, Phil, and some other guy named Technoblade arguing with each other.

She texts over Discord Tommy after a little while.

> U/n: tell them about how you were a little gremlin whenever I babysat you

> Tommyinnit: o-o

> Tommyinnit: why don't you tell them yourself?

> U/n: bet

"Guys I'm adding Y/n to the call," Tommy remarks.

"Who's Y/n?" Techno asks.

There's a ping in the channel.

"Me, I'm Y/n," Y/n says with a smirk.

"Are you here to expose all of Tommy's secrets?" Phil asks.

"Yes of course, why else would I be here?" She replies curtly.

"I think I was a very good child actually," Tommy points out. "When you babysat me, of course,"

"I don't believe that for a second," Techno says.

"Hey!"

"He would throw temper tantrums whenever I wouldn't let him have ice cream for dinner," Y/n chimes back in. "One time when he was 10 he threatened to tell his parents that I hit him if I didn't,"

"That was one time!"

"It was three times!"

"No it wasn't!"

She glares at the image of his face cam on the stream. "I'm glaring at your dumb face right now,"

"Your face is dumb," Tommy retorts right back at her.

"You can't even see my face,"

"I know what it looks like, that's close enough," After a brief pause he adds offhandedly. "Chat is asking questions about you by the way,"

"Let's see..." Y/n reads them over for a moment. "My favorite color is [favorite color], I'm [insert height] feet/meters tall, my favorite youtuber-?"

"Me, obviously," Tommy interrupts.

"Nah it's probably Wilbur," Phil adds with a small laugh.

"Of course it is," She laughs.

"Really?" Wilbur asks hopefully.

"No it's Dream,"

The sound of desk banging can be heard from the background of Wilbur's microphone.

"Well we lost him," Techno remarks. "So anyway, how is everyone?"

"Dammit!" Wilbur shouts.

"I love you too," Y/n says as she stifles more laughter. "Hey Tommy remember that one time when-"

"Don't expose all of my embarrassing life events!"

"-when you got-"

"No-!"

"Yes Y/n tell us!" Phil chants. "Tell us! Tell us! Tell us!"

"Okay so one time," Y/n continues. "Tommy tried to climb an apple tree to pick apples when he was little-"

"Not this one..." Tommy mumbles.

"Tommy shut up and let us hear this humiliating story about your childhood,"

"And it turns out he didn't know how to get down," She goes on. "So he got stuck up there. One of the neighbors had to bring a ladder to get him down, but not before the rest of the neighborhood came out to watch. He was stuck up there for at least a half an hour though,"

"Yeah but I got a bunch of apples out of it,"

"Tommy you were crying like a baby,"

"Was not!"
