A few days later.

2:00 PM

I was laying upside down on my couch with my legs hung over the back and my head hung upside down while scrolling through Instagram on my phone, I had gotten back from work not long ago.

I had a job lined up over here and started about 5 days ago, it was a little guitar shop that wasn't far. My shift starts at 6 am and ends at 1:30 pm, which you might think are some crazy weird hours but I'm fond of waking up early so it doesn't bother me.

Although I'm not a morning person I love my job and coworkers so it was enough to get me out of the house so early.

I scrolled upon a yumi post teasing some new merch with his album music playing over it, I'd never listened to any of their music before but I had quickly gotten word of it from nick wanting me to listen.

The pictures he posted were cool looking so I liked it and scrolled past, I huffed out a sigh of boredom before turning to Isaac who was sat next to me on my couch

His cheek rested against his fist as he stared at my mounted tv watching some rick and morty, he had come over when I got home and gave me a stupid 'i ❤️ Isaacwhy' hoodie in which, of course I was wearing it.

Me and Isaac have become pretty close in so little time, I'd even call him a best friend at this point.

"Bro I'm lowkey so bored we should do something" he spoke up turning to me with the boredom prominent on his face

I nodded in agreement flipping my position so I was sitting upright and I leaned my back against Isaac, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders as I stayed scrolling on my phone "what would we even do.."

"Actually I have no idea.." he spoke with a sigh before running his other hand through my hair

I let him do so for a few minutes before tilting my head back and looking up at him "ima go bother the others"

He nodded before letting me go and playfully shoving me off of him "whatever, ima chill here" his tone laced with sass

I ran up the stairs before bursting into tanners room, I quickly noticed he was streaming so I walked over and gave the camera a wave causing tanner to jump slightly and turn to me, taking his eyes off the roblox he was playing

"You scared the shit out of me what are you doing in here y/n?"

I shrugged "I just wanted to see if you'd hang out with me but you're busy so it's alright.. by chat!" I smiled at the camera and waved goodbye

"Yeah sorry but try asking nick!" He called out as I left his room

I quickly headed towards nicks room and burst through the door also causing him to jump and his head shot in my direction "oh my god what the fuck"

I laughed at his reaction causing him to smile and shake his head turning back to his pc "what do you want?"

"I was wondering if you'd go somewhere with me? Perhaps a cat cafe?" I asked him walking up to his side, I glanced at his pc to see he was editing

"Sorry y/n, I gotta edit this podcast video.. and Larry just took my car to go wherever but you should ask yumi, he likes cats too.. kinda" he had a guilty look

I sighed and nodded before leaving his room and heading towards yumis, nervousness striking me as I approached his door.

Although, It was a good excuse to talk to him since he hadn't been talking to me as much, he was one of the guys I was less close with as well as grunk obviously, I knocked on his door and didn't hear a response, he was sleeping ..of course.

I opened the door and stared down at the man cuddled up under his covers, I walked to his side and looked him over for a moment

He looked so peaceful in his sleep and less mad at everything for no reason, his hair always looked so soft and fluffy all I want to do Is run my hand through it but that'd probably be weird.

I placed a hand on his shoulder and shook him gently, I hated waking up people aggressively even though the guys don't care at all and wake me up however, I still like to be considerate.

He groaned and his brows furrowed as he kept his eyes shut, I shook him a little harder "blakeeeee"

His eyes popped open as he stared up at me tiredly, an angry look replacing his previously calm one "what."

"Do you want to go to a cat cafe?" I gave a guilty smile, starting to feel bad for waking him up

His gaze softened ever so slightly as he moved the blankets and sat up with a yawn "..just us?"

"Well.. if you want it to be.. i was gonna invite Isaac but it can be just us" I suggested with a shrug, unsure if that's what his question implyed

He thought for a moment glancing around the room as he was still adjusting to being awake "uh.. that'd be better, the others are gonna annoy me.. I was- ....where did you get that?"

He was staring at my 'I ❤️ Isaacwhy' hoodie with a confused expression and laughed a little.

"Isaac gave it to me, why?"

A smile remained and he shook his head with a roll of his eyes, he looked at the pants I had on before glancing at his closet "I have one that could match those pants better than that stupid thing"

His gaze was flicked back to mine and I laughed a little with a shake of my head "it is kinda dumb looking isn't it? I thought it was funny to wear but I'm actually not so sure I want to wear it out in public now that I think about it.."

I looked down at my hoodie before walking over to his closet and opening it staring at the hoodies he had "which one?"

He sighed and got up, stretching his arms as he walked over gently placing a hand on my waist and moving me to the side before rummaging through the hoodies, butterflies erupted in my stomach as my side still tingled from his touch.

He always made me feel a certain way but I never knew why, none of the others made me feel like this and they are way more touchy than he is.

I swallowed my nervousness as he handed me his new merch hoodie with a tired smile and a proud nod "yeah this'll be fire on you"

I took it and smiled at him a little "it's lowkey a really good design, you made it?"

He crossed his arms and nodded "thanks.. I guess I did.. with a tiny bit of help" his tone laced with fake cockiness.

I rolled my eyes and threw off the other hoodie, I had a (favorite band) shirt on underneath but it was quickly covered by yumis hoodie-

It smelt like him.

Yumi always smelt like cologne and old spice deodorant, he had told me once that he hated the thought of smelling bad so he always made sure he smelt either good or neutral, it always seemed to piss him off when someone smelt bad.

He smiled down at me before adjusting the hoodie for me a bit, he tugged at the bottom pulling it down a bit more and reached his arms around my head as he adjusted the hood behind me

I took the opportunity to stare up at him and made sure I remembered every detail of his face, I've never been attracted to a white boy before but.. this one had a little spice for some reason.

Although all it was was attraction, nothing more.

his eyes met mine for a moment but he quickly cleared his throat and averted his gaze before motioning for me to leave the room

"Wait outside, I'll get ready real quick and we can go to that cat cafe"

I nodded with a subtle smile trying to hide my excitement to see cats as I left his room and shut his door behind me.

I patiently waited outside his door.
