I let out a yawn as I exit the school grounds because classes just ended for the day-- erm.. for the week. Looking around, I come to see no one else is around.

'Why am I always the first one out?'

I mean- I guess I do always run out of the college grounds when the final bell goes-- ever since my first day here, all I did was run.

Actually- now that I think about it... All I did in life is run...

I lifted my mask up just a bit in order to breathe a little better, 'I should get a new mask' I wonder when this pandemic will be over...? Probably not any time soon- that's for sure.

The streets here are so empty.... It's weird to see...

I guess it's because we aren't in the core city parts... But still-- usually you'd at least see about ten to thirty people walk down these streets... Other than the college kids anyways...

"Y/N...!!"

I turned around and saw Tommy dashing towards me--- god his run was kinda stupid too.

"Ayooo!" I waved at him, sliding down my mask once more. I began to grin underneath it.

By the time he reached me, he was breathing a little heavily.

"Why the fuck do you run out of school?" Tommy heaved, "The bus doesn't come for another five minutes...?"

"uhhh... Cuz- I can?" I replied, "I was pretty active as a child. Don't you do a bit of fitness from time to time?"

"Have you seen me, Y/N? I'm pretty jacked if you couldn't already tell..." He then proceeds to flex his... uhh--- arm muscles to me.

I walked up closer to him, then I reached out and touched his bicep. At my touch, Tommy's body seemed to have jumped a little. The blonde then proceeded to back up and away from me.

"H- Hey- hey- hey--! no touching the goods!" He scolds me, face going a little red.

His reaction made me snicker.

"Alright, big man..!"

I then turned and started to walk away from Tommy, seeing it was the end of the day of learning- It was my time to go home.

"Cya, Tom- Tom!" I said in a louder tone than normal, making my wave over exaggerated as I continued to walk away.

Internally, I cringed at the horrible nick name I had just called him-- but it was whatever.

"Hey, Y/N!" Tom shouted.

I stopped and turned around again.

"Yes?" I questioned, "You aren't going to slam my head in again-- right?"

He let out a roar of laughter.

"Nononono! No I'm not! I swear."

"Then what is it?" I question once more.

"Uhh--- Do you want to work on the project today?" He asked.

'Oh- that's right. The project..'

I had completely forgotten about the new project we have.

Since our class ended up finishing their assignments early, our teacher decided it would've been a good idea to get started our next project early. And because we had to work in pairs, Tommy ended up being my partner.

It's actually kinda funny though, as soon as our teacher announced it to the class- I was instantly the first person Tommy turned to and asked to be partners with.

Kinda just makes you special inside when someone actually wants to partner up with you.

"...We'll see... lemme just ask my dad" I say, pulling out my phone to shoot my dad a quick text.

🪑The Chair Father

I take my eyes off of my phone screen and looked back over to Tommy who was standing there expectantly, shifting his feet constantly.

"He gave me the go ahead" I tell him, smiling "So, lead the way"

Tommy seemed to get a little more excited after I said the news.

"Oh- oh! Uhh... Alright!"

He then starts to walk off, I follow behind him.

'I wonder if I have enough money for the trip?'

Tommy usually would take the bus whenever we'd get off... So hopefully I got what I need in order to go on. I rarely go on the bus anymore- since the distance to the school from my house isn't as far as I once thought.

I believe I had money on me... So transport shouldn't hopefully be the big problem there...

..but Tommy wasn't walking in the direction of the bus stop this time around.

"...Aren't we taking the bus, Tom?" I questioned, eyeing the street down.

Tommy stops in place and turns around to face me.

"Though I usually take the bus, I don't mind walking this time around..." Tommy quickly and simply mentions to me before turning around once more to walk down the street.

I follow after him, my eyes staring at his form from behind.

"Is it because I'm with you? I'm okay with riding the bus you know--"

"You're wanting to walk more- right?" Tommy brings up, "I really don't mind walking"

At this words, I began to smirk.

I quickened up my speed and ended up at Tommy's side for the remainder of our walk together.

"You're being considerate...?" I stared up into the blondes blue eyes, "...ay, boy-innit?"

"Maybe I am---" Tommy answered my question, turning away from my gaze, "--and don't you dare call me a boy. I am a man."

"In my eyes, you're still a child." I state, "Maybe when you're actually officially 18... I'll consider you a man"

'That's a lie- there's no way I can see him as anything else but a child.'

"Whatever- you're just jealous because people think I'm so manly..." Tommy scoffed.

"'Think' is the word to highlight in this instance--"

"Oh- shove off--"

For the rest of the walk, we just chatted none stop. We ended up passing by stores and checking them out too... It was an over all experience-- and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Tommy was a funny and annoying guy--- but god do I love being around him.

At a few occasions, Tommy would get stopped by fans of his-- they would ask for pictures with him and stuff like that.... then they'd talk and stuff--- hell... they even asked Tommy about me being with him and other shit like that.

People at times assumed I was his girlfriend and would tell him that I was a 'keeper' and other stuff like that.

I wouldn't think anyone would say that about me- I mean... Come on- I'm not that attractive to people... right?

The most I am to people is hot garbage. ✨✨

After a walk that should've only taken very much less than an hour and a half---- we arrived at Tommy's house.

The outside of it looked pretty nice from the outside. Brick walls to act like fences surrounded the property, inside of the walls were a two story house also made up with brown brick walls, plants of wildlife in the front, along with a driveway and pathway.

It's odd really- the house is so simple and plain, yet it holds many of the worlds wonders.... The main one being the one and only Tommyinnit.

Like- seriously... aren't all weird famous youtubers living in nice houses? I mean- this place is nice and all... but you'd at least think a city condo or one of those make 10 million dollar mansion...

Though, it's a good thing that Tommy isn't one of those people... most of them aren't bad- but I feel like owning a place like that would boost a persons ego a little too much.... >_>

Tommy goes and opens the gate, he goes in as I close it up behind us. When walking to the front door, Tommy pauses for a moment and turns to look at me.

"Uhh... if we run into my parents... don't mind my them- okay?" He says.

"Alright" I simply shrug off.

He then opens the door and we enter.

'This is my first time ever being in a guys house...'

I have never been to a guys house before--- And I don't count any family outings.

Hell- I never even went to Aiden's house... despite me and him being friends for longer-- well, ex-friends now.

I just never got around to it, mainly because he informed me that unless I want to have lung cancer, then I should avoid his house at all times.

He knew I hated the idea of smoking- and the act of it.

Yet he did it anyways...

As we made it further into the house, Tommy kept an eye out of what I assume is his parents.

Everything seemed to be going well, and we snuck our way through the house... That was until Tommy got tackled, letting out a 'oof' as he hit the floor.

I eyed him up curiously to see a dog on him. Walter was its name- if I remember right.

"What the fuck, Walter??" Tommy was baffled about the current situation he was in.

"Oh my god- you got absolutely reckt" I laughed out.

And soon after I said that, Walter got off of Tommy and headed straight for me.

"Ah shit-"

I ended up backing into the front door again, Walter jumping up on me and trying to lick my face.

"Tommmmyyyy" I called out to him.

After getting up off the ground, Tommy stared back at me and began to laugh at the situation I was in.

"What? can't handle a dog?"

"He's on me Tommy... Tell him to get down.... pleasee" I asked, "Your dog is Kabedoning meeee"

He let out a loud and quick laugh before beckoning Walter to his side-- which took longer than expected. But after Tommy went to the kitchen to fetch Walter a treat, the pet got off me straight away.

"Tom? What's with all the noise?" An unfamiliar voice questioned.

My eyes trailed to the source, leading myself to look towards the stair way. My eyes take in the form. An older looking woman with shoulder length blonde hair and blue stern eyes were staring down to us. Her gaze hid behind prescription glasses... Motherinnit, I presumed.

Upon her noticing me, her body shifted from one of sternness to cautious and confusion.

"Oh- uhmm... Tom? Who is this...?" His mother asked, walking down the stairs to come and meet us.

"Uh- mum... This is Y/N" Tommy says, gesturing to me, "She's my friend and my partner for a class project we have to do"

"Ah, well... it's nice to meet you Y/N." Motherinnit gave me a close eyed smile, "My goodness... I never thought I'd see the day Tom would bring a girl home. Please, come often when you can"

"M-mum!!" Tommy stammered.

"Haha..! Thank you for the hospitality, I'd love to keep coming here." I smiled back to Tommy's mother.

"So- uh... Where's dad?" Tommy asks.

"He went out for a bit of shopping. He should be back in a few hours." Mrs Simona replies, then proceeding to eye the both of us before going into a more calmer posture and state, "Would you like me to fix the two of you some snacks?"

Tommy shakes his head.

"Oh- there's no need mum"

"I surely can't just let a house guest-- especially one with such lovely manners... go untreated" Tommy's mum tells him, then turning to provide her attention to me afterwards, "Is there something you want in particular?"

"I'm fine with just about anything, really..." I answer, looking up to Tommy afterwards, "Is there anything you want to eat Tommy?"

"Eh- I dunno. Maybe some toast?" Tommy shrugs off.

"In that case... do you by chance have honey?" My eyes trailed over to Motherinnit once more.

"Uhh... yes. We have a jar of honey- i'm sure anyways..." She mutters.

"Is it too much to ask for honey on toast then?" I ask.

"It wouldn't be a problem at all." She responds to me. Motherinnit then turns her attention back to Tom, "Will the two of you be in your room, Tom?"

"Yeah" He replies.

"Alright. I'll bring it up in a little bit." She says, leaving for the kitchen.

I was going to move further into the house, but Tommy turns to face me- his expression confused and still a bit baffled.

"Honey on toast? Why the fuck would you ask for that?" He says in a whisper shout kind of tone, "And why the fuck are you so nice all of a sudden?"

"Honey tastes nice. Especially Manuka honey." I answered his first question, "What do you mean 'all of a sudden'?? I'm always nice."

"Bullshit"

I crossed my arms and dead stared him.

"ahahh... Boyinnit.... You haven't seen me when I'm mad."

Tommy was a little confused on my statement, opening his mouth about to say something.

But before he could ask, I forced my lips back into a grin.

"Anywho- your bedroom?" I brought up.

He blinked a few times, processing things. He then clears his throat and darted his eyes around the room.

"Oh- uhh... Yeah, yeah. Follow me" Tommy then turns back around, heading upstairs.

Following behind him, we made our way to his bedroom.
