Requested by fan_of_marvel22: Tom and Y/N are best friends and one day, they try to give Tessa a bath. Tessa hates the water so she escapes the bathroom, and Tom and Y/N have to chase her around the house whilst all three of them are soaked. They eventually corner Tessa, but she ends up knocking Y/N down, and when Tom goes to help her up, he slips in the water and falls on top of her.

My car screeched to a halt in front of my best friend's house, my panicked hands tearing my keys out of the ignition and scrambling out of my car before rushing up to Tom's front door. I hammered my fist against it and took a step back, my heart racing in anxiety at the thought of what could be wrong. The door opened after a moment...making me very confused. My eyebrows furrowed, my out-of-breath and wet best friend nothing compared to the bloodbath that I had expected to open the door to find.

"Oh, thank god, darling, I really need your help." Tom puffed out, his face red from running and his curls messy as he placed his hands on his hips.

"With what?" I scoffed. He smiled sheepishly at me.

"Please don't hate me. But Tessa needs a bath." He admitted. My eyes widened, my mouth falling open at his words.

"You asshole! 'SOS' is what you texted me, I thought that you were dying, but no! You just tricked me, AGAIN, into helping you wash the most stubborn dog in the world! I'm out." I nodded as I turned to leave again.

"Sweetheart, please, I need your help." Tom groaned as he reached out and took my hand to stop me from going. I gulped and looked over my shoulder at him, butterflies exploding in my stomach at the soft gesture. Tom and I had been best friends for the last few years, but as the cliche always went, I loved him so much deeper than that. The problem was that I doubted that he'd ever feel the same. Now, with Tom naturally came Tessa. I loved Tom's dog with all of my heart, the beautiful and gentle dog being the light of his life, and by extension, being the light of mine too. But the single thing about Tessa was that she hated water...which made bath times the bane of her existence. I had helped Tom bathe her ONCE, and had sworn to never do it again given that it had ended with both Tom and I soaked from head to toe, and with my chest feeling like I'd run a marathon from chasing the dog around his home. And so now, Tom had to trick me to come over, but Sod's law stated that the one time that he texted 'SOS' and I ignored it would be the one time that he actually needed my help. And so of course, I could never ignore it.

"Fuck you, fine. God, I can't believe that I fall for it every time." I mumbled and shook my head.

"Love you." He smiled, making me playfully roll my eyes as I headed into Tom's house, and he shut the door behind me.

Tom and I stood in the bathroom, both of us staring at Tessa as she just sat in front of us. The dog tilted her head at us, her tail wagging as she remained blissfully unaware of what we were about to attempt.

"Right, so...how are we going to do this? Because we both know that she won't get in willingly." I scoffed and shook my head as I looked up at Tom.

"Okay, so I think that you should hold her collar, make her stay in here whilst I run the bath. If I really need to, I'll put on some trunks and get in with her to try and keep her calm." Tom nodded.

"Okay." I returned before leaning down and looking at Tessa.

"Hello, beautiful." I smiled at her, the dog wagging her tail more as I leant down and started to stroke her.

"Everything is okay, Tess, nothing is happening, daddy's not doing anything." I cooed and shook my head as Tom started to run the bath whilst I distracted Tessa.

"Okay, you ready, love? I'm just going to pick her up and put her in, you stand by the door to block it if she tries to escape." Tom instructed.

"I can already see this going badly." I sighed, Tom nodding and wincing as he lifted Tessa up from behind. She started to wiggle and whine as she realised what was happening, making Tom puff out as he just about got her towards the bath.

"I know, Tess, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He sighed. And that was when it all went wrong. Tom put her into the bath...but she didn't stay there for long. Immediately, she started scrambling against the porcelain, making us both yell out as water flew everywhere. I squealed out in surprise as my clothes were soaked within moments, my eyes widening even further as I saw Tess jump over the edge of the bathtub and rush past me.

"Tess, no!" Tom yelled as he tried to grab her, but she was too fast for him.

"Fucks' sake, I knew that this would happen!" I shouted, making him sigh as we both scrambled up to our feet and rushed out after the dog.

"Tess, stop! Come on, girl, stop!" he yelled after her as the pair of us ran after her. Both of us had been soaked through by Tessa jumping out of the bath, making a trail of water drip off of us as we ran through Tom's house. But then, we got lucky. As if it was fate, Tessa ran into the living room, but ran straight into the corner of the room by accident.

"Fuck, we've got her sweetheart, you go right, I'll go left." Tom nodded, making me return it as we trapped her in the corner. Tessa barked and whined at us, the dog becoming more skittish by the second as she realised that she was trapped.

"Come on, my love, stop this, you can have all of the treats in the world once you've let us bathe you." Tom promised with a sigh as we slowly but surely walked towards her with our arms out in an attempt not to spook her. But once again...it didn't work. Before I knew what was happening, Tessa lunged for me, making my eyes widen.

"SHIT!" I yelled as she knocked me down before running past me. I landed on my back with a thump, making Tom's eyes widen as I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Oh, fuck, darling, are you okay?" He gulped.

"Yeah, I'm fine...I think." I groaned. He sighed and gave me a sympathetic smile as he extended his hand to help me up. I took it and started to be pulled up by Tom...before he slipped too.

"WOAH!" He yelled, a squeal leaving my lips as he dropped me and fell down too. Leaving his body on top of mine. We both panted heavily, our eyes wide as we looked at each other. Tom gulped and looked down at me, his hands on either side of my head the only thing holding him up on top of me as he accidentally pinned me down to the floor. Not that I minded. At all. Tom gulped as he looked at me, his gaze flicking between my eyes and my lips as he stayed on top of me. The whole situation was making my heart explode in my chest, the fact that he was on top of me and was making no effort to get off, as well as the fact that he kept looking at my lips. As if he wanted to kiss me, but was holding back.

"Shit, love, I-I'm really sorry-I slipped, I'm sorry, are you okay?" He gulped and shook his head. I returned the head shake with a small smile.

"It's okay, Tommy, I-I'm fine. Are you?" I checked. He nodded and bit his lip, my stomach only twisting more with butterflies at the way that he was looking at me. And then...it happened. Tom leant down and closed the gap between our faces, my eyes fluttering shut as his soft lips pressed to mine. I returned it immediately, my hands raising to his face and curling around his neck to pull him closer as he eased himself down onto his forearms so that he was fully pressed to me instead of just hovering over me. He deepened the kiss, making me giggle and him smirk into it as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. After a moment, he broke the kiss, his forehead gently pressing to mine as we caught our breaths. My eyes fluttered open, my heart leaping in my chest as I found that Tom's beautiful chocolate eyes were already gazing back softly at me. He smiled and bit his lip.

"So, um...truth time, I think. In case it wasn't obvious from the fact that I'm still on top of you, and the fact that I just kissed you, I really like you, sweetheart. It hasn't been as a best friend for a while, it's been as the love of my life. Everything that you do is just perfect in my eyes, you are perfect in my eyes. And I know that asking you out whilst we're both soaking wet because of a failed attempt to wash Tessa, on my living room floor is probably the least romantic way that I could have done it, but I don't care. I'd love to take you out sometime, darling. And I'd love to make you my girlfriend." He admitted. I smiled and bit my lip, tears pricking my eyes at his amazing words as I stared up at the love of my life. The love of my life who had just admitted that he felt the same way about me too.

"Tommy, of course I feel the same way about you too, I have for a long time. So, yes. I'd love to go out with you, and I'd love to be your girlfriend." I nodded.

"Brilliant." He smiled, making me return it as he leant down and kissed me again. I returned it, my hands once again curling around his neck to pull him closer as we lay there. Suddenly, Tom broke the kiss, a groan leaving his lips and his eyes squeezing shut as Tessa appeared next to us again, and started to lick Tom's face.

"Thanks for that, Tess." He groaned, making me laugh as he climbed off of me and gently pulled me up so that we wouldn't slip again.

"Now that I'm your girlfriend, I suppose that I really should help you wash her, huh." I sighed teasingly.

"Thank you." He smiled, making me return it as he leant down and pecked my lips again before picking up Tessa and carrying her back into the bathroom as I followed in after him.
