Niki dragged Avon to their shared room after Avon texted Aster explaining the situation and he was very happy for her. Niki sat down on the bed,

"Spill everything,"

Avon looked at her in confusion,

"Huh?"

Niki rolled her eyes,

"I know you have no interest in Drem whatsoever, so what's going on through your head?"

Avon smiled and chuckled, she sat next to Niki,

"Okay, so yeah Dream and I are just making fun at each other ya know? I see him as a brother and he sees me as another sister. Nothing else, but we aren't denying or accepting the stuff being said about how we would be good for each other, we don't care unless it gets too far."

Niki nodded,

"That's fair...but do you feel anything for anyone?"

Avon shrugged,

"I mean not really,"

Niki smirked,

"Not even Wilbur?"

Avon blushed and shoved Niki,

"No!"

Niki laughed,

"You talk to him a bunch after you met him,"

Avon shrugged,

"I enjoy his company,"

Niki rolled her eyes,

"Well, what did you think when you saw him?"

Avon blushed slightly,

"Well, uh...he's very fucking tall, like Ranboo but not as tall as Ranboo. Uh. I wanted to mess up his hair, it's so fricken fluffy Niki, like so fluffy. I felt happy and safe too...but my children are also here now so that could be it,"

Niki sighed dramatically,

"Ave, your love language is touch, you get anxious around people you don't like or in big crowds. You didn't feel that at all throughout this meet-up. Sure, we know these people well, but I saw you look at Wilbur first when you noticed the four of them after hugging Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo. You sticked by his side before you came back into the room and messed around with Dream. And you are always teasing him and messing around with him, which is another sign that you like him. I'm not trying to pressure you or anything...but you like Wilbur and I think you shouldn't reject that idea from your head,"

Avon sighed and laid her head on Niki's shoulder,

"I...I know...but I don't know what to do Niki,"

Niki smiled softly at her and laid her head on top of hers,

"I know this might seem scary, but I will be by your side throughout this,"

Avon smiled and hugged her,

"I love you,"

Niki giggled,

"I love you too,"

Wilbur flopped down on the bed as Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo walked in with their things. Tommy smirked,

"Wilbur!"

Wilbur looked at him,

"Yes, Tommy?"

Tubbo shrugged,

"Can we call Philza?"

Wilbur chuckled and nodded,

"Yeah,"

Tommy smiled,

"POG!"

Wilbur took out his phone and called Phil:

"Hey Wilbur, what's up?"

"Nothing much, the kids wanted to talk to you,"

Tommy immediately took Wilbur's phone,

"PHILZA! Wilbur likes our mom!"

Wilbur immediately blushed and went to grab the phone but Tommy leaned out of his reach.

"Okay? I already know that,"

Everyone stopped and stared at the phone. Wilbur frowned,

"H-How?"

Philza was heard laughing,

"Wilbur, your face lights up whenever you talk to her or see her from a stream, it's very obvious to me,"

Wilbur sighed,

"Well, she doesn't like me back,"

Ranboo shrugged,

"You don't know that,"

Wilbur sighed and ruffled his hair,

"I don't know...she likes Dream, or he likes her,"

Tommy rolled his eyes,

"You are so stupid,"

Wilbur glared at Tommy and shoved him.

"Wilbur, I usually don't do this, but I agree with the child. Ace and Dream do not like each other other than platonically."

Wilbur sighed,

"But they don't act like that,"

Tubbo sighed,

"Wilbur, A is someone who would do that with anyone, she is platonically married to Niki!"

Ranboo nodded,

"Plus, if she liked Dream, she would have accepted Gogy's plan to fight for his 'love' right away to play it off,"

Tommy nodded,

"Plus, we do not approve him as our internet dad,"

You could hear Philza choke on water,

"I'm sorry. what?!"

The group of four laughed. Tubbo smiled,

"Sorry Philza, but Ace is our mom so whoever she dates would have to be our dad,"

Wilbur sighed,

"Well, that's the downside,"

Ranboo rolled his eyes,

"Shut up, we are very pleasant,"

Tommy nodded,

"Yeah!"

Phil chuckled,

"Sure. Wilbur?"

Wilbur looked at the phone,

"Yeah?"

"What do you feel when you see or talk to Ace?"

Wilbur blushed,

"Uh...she just makes me happy I guess, like I feel motivated to get stuff done when we talk, to better myself. She calms me down when I feel nervous...she makes me laugh, but also she annoys the hell out of me but I don't mind, it's all for fun."

Tommy smirked,

"You like like her!"

Wilbur blushed and pushed Tommy again and he yelped as he collided with the floor,

"Did you just push Tommy off the bed?"

Wilbur shrugged,

"Maybe?"

Tommy grumbled,

"Piece of shit,"

"Anyway...Wilbur, you really like Ace, you should make a move dude,"

Wilbur sighed,

"I don't know how to,"

"Just try hanging out with her one on one or something,"

Tubbo nodded,

"Yeah! Like if we go out tomorrow we help get you two alone!"

Ranboo smirked,

"Yeah!"

Wilbur chuckled,

"I don't know,"

"Look, at least try it...you don't even have to do it tomorrow,"

Wilbur sighed,

"Alright, I will see if I do,"

They all cheered and Wilbur rolled his eyes and smiled,

"Thanks Phil,"

"No problem, let me know what happens! Oh and tell Ace I said hi!"

"I will!"

Wilbur hung up and Tommy nudged him,

"I will say, I do kind of approve you,"

Wilbur chuckled,

"Oh yeah?"

Tubbo smiled and nodded,

"Yeah! Ace would definitely do better with you than Dream...no offense to him of course,"

Wilbur chuckled softly,

"Go get some sleep,"

Tommy and Tubbo were sharing a bed while Wilbur got the coach and Ranboo got the other bed. Wilbur checked his phone as it buzzed and he smiled brightly when he saw the contact name pop up𝔸𝕔𝕖 <𝟛:

Hi Wil! How r my children?

Pretty good, I just sent them to bed

Woah, they listened?

We will see about that

Wilbur bit his lip after he sent that, he felt nervous for the first time while talking to Avon.

the hallway!

What about Niki and the kids?

vibes 🥸

<3

Wilbur quickly and quietly got off the couch and got his sneakers on. He left his room and smiled when he saw Avon leaning against the wall. She smiled up at him,

"Great! You came,"

Wilbur smiled,

"Always will,"

Avon smiled softly and grabbed his hand,

"I wanna show you something!"

Wilbur looked at her in curiosity,

"Like what?"

Avon smirked,

"You will have to find out dearest Wil,"

Wilbur shrugged,

"Just don't kill me,"

Avon pouted,

"Damn, you must be a mind reader!"

Wilbur and Avon burst into laughter as they exited the hotel. Avon dragged him to a small park,

"This is where I went when I first came to New York! It's very pretty at night,"

Wilbur smiled as he climbed onto the monkey bars. Avon laughed,

"You do realize, you might fall,"

Wilbur smirked,

"I will not, I have great balance,"

Avon chuckled,

"Surrreee,"

Wilbur smiled,

"Wanna come up?"

Avon sighed,

"Make sure I don't fall?"

Wilbur nodded as he grabbed her hand,

"I would never let you fall,"

Avon blushed lightly and she laid her head on Wilbur's shoulder. Wilbur smiled softly,

"Do you ever miss living in the UK?"

Avon sighed,

"I miss the memories of UK, but here in New York, it's not AS bad as it could be...I have streaming and now I got Quin,"

Wilbur smiled,

"You are amazing for taking in Quin,"

Avon smiled softly,

"I'm only repaying someone,"

Wilbur looked down at her in curiosity,

"Who? if you don't mind me asking,"

Avon smiled sadly and stared at the stars,

"Her name was Zarah. When I came here for the first time...she saw me wandering around aimlessly...It was my first week in America so I didn't know much about anything. She introduced herself and even took me to this very park. Sure, I was an adult and shit...but it was my first time ever living alone, much less in a whole unknown place. She showed me the ropes on living by myself, she even came by daily to my apartment to check up on how I was doing...I told her about my streaming and she was so fucking supportive. Then. Then she started getting sick. But, she kept it inside...I-I didn't know until I got a call from the hospital. She was on her final hour of life. I dropped everything I was doing and ran to the hospital. She...she told me in her last words of how proud she was of me...how far I have come. She told me to not let my past get in the way of my future."

Avon was silently crying and Wilbur felt his heart break at the sight. He immediately wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. She turned to him and cried into his chest. Wilbur patted her back soothingly,

"Hey, it's okay. I know that Zarah is watching over you from the clouds. She is so proud of you, still,"

Avon looked up to him with tearful eyes,

"You think?"

Wilbur smiled softly and ran his thumb under her eyes, wiping away her tears,

"I know...I know because I am so proud of you Ace,"

Avon smiled tearfully at him and immediately pulled him into a hug,

"Thank you, Wilbur,"

Wilbur smiled into the hug,

"You are very welcome,"

When they finally let go, Avon smiled at him,

"My name is Avon,"

Wilbur's breath hitched in his throat. He smiled softly,

"Beautiful name, Avon,"

Avon felt her heart stop as she heard him say his name smoothly, she smiled softly,

"Why thank you, Wilbur,"

Wilbur smiled,

"You are very welcome,"

Avon smiled softly and grabbed her hand,

"Come on, let's get some ice cream then go back,"

Wilbur smirked,

"You want ice cream after midnight?"

Avon winked at him,

"What can I say? I'm a rebel,"

Wilbur chuckled softly,

"Oh, I know,"

Avon giggled and the two walked out of the park. Wilbur felt like he was going to burst with how much joy he was feeling, yet he had no idea that Avon felt the same and vice versa. Wilbur held the door for Avon and she smiled,

"Such a gentleman,"

Wilbur winked,

"For you, yes,"

Avon blushed feintly and they walked up to the counter. A guy looked up at them,

"Hello, what can I get ya?"

Avon smiled,

"One Rocky Road,"

"I'll have a vanilla,"

Avon almost took out her wallet but Wilbur already handed him his card, Avon shoved Wilbur,

"Wil! I can pay,"

Wilbur shook his head,

"No, you took me out, I should pay,"

Avon rolled her eyes playfully at him and smiled kindly at him,

"Thanks,"

Wilbur smiled,

"You are very much welcome,"

They got their ice cream and started slowly walking back. Wilbur glanced at Avon and almost stopped when he saw how her eyes lit up from the street lights, she looked absolutely stunning to him. Avon smiled up at him,

"This was fun,"

Wilbur grabbed her hand again,

"It most definitely was, thank you for asking me to come with you,"

Avon smiled brightly at him and squeezed his hand softly,

"I'll always ask, it's fun hanging out with you,"

Wilbur softly smiled and looked up at the sky,

"You know, one time, my friend came and knocked on my window, this was a few years ago, and I was basically asleep...so I got out of my bed and yelled at them for waking me up. They laughed at me and told me to get off my lazy ass and go with them on an adventure. This reminds me of that, just being spontaneous and having a good time, forget about our worries,"

Avon smiled softly,

"I'm glad,"

Wilbur smiled,

"To me, it's the small things that count,"

Avon chuckled softly,

"Yeah, it's more important if they remember the small things, if they don't see you differently just cuz you have a shit ton of viewers or anything,"

Wilbur sighed,

"Yeah, the only down side of being so famous, huh aceplayer 4 L,"

Avon laughed and playfully shoved him,

"Oh shove off Wilbur Soot,"

Wilbur smiled,

"Will Gold,"

Avon looked at him in confusion,

"Huh?"

Wilbur smiled at her,

"My actual name is Will Gold,"

Avon's smile widened,

"So should I call you William now?"

Wilbur burst into laughter,

"No no, do not,"

Avon smirked at him,

"You know, I like the ring of Tomathy and William,"

Wilbur sighed,

"So many life regrets,"

Avon laughed harder,

"So does Tobias, but I know Tubs doesn't love it when people call him Toby when they aren't his close friends...and I don't want any of our fans to call him that cuz of me,"

Wilbur smiled softly,

"You really care about him,"

Avon's eyes brightened,

"Yeah! I love those boys. Tomathy might seem really like loud, but he is such a fucking sweetheart off stream and sometimes on stream too. Tubs is just such an innocent kid, I love him. Ranboo is so sarcastic and hilarious, but he really is caring and has a soft side to him, ya know?"

Wilbur smiled,

"Yeah, they are great kids...Tommy would just spam me to talk to him, sometimes when you guys are in call too as you know,"

Avon chuckled,

"Yeah,"

Wilbur smiled,

"And Ranboo is a great kid, he has tons of potential along with Tubbo,"

Avon threw out her cup after she finished and Wilbur did the same. They stood out of the hotel now. Avon smiled,

"Come on William,"

Wilbur sighed,

"Many many regrets,"

Avon burst into laughter,

"Shut up mister Foot,"

Wilbur rolled his eyes,

"I thought we got off that one,"

Avon smirked,

"Never,"

Wilbur sighed dramatically,

"I should write a song about this bullying,"

Avon giggled,

"Sure,"

Wilbur smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder casually,

"Thank you again for tonight, Avon,"

Avon blushed lightly and smiled at him,

"Thank you for coming,"

She went on her tip toes and kissed his cheek quickly before going into her room. Wilbur stood their for a solid second and touched his cheek,

"Holy shit...holy shit...that happened."

He burst out smiling and walked into the room and let out a silent scream when he saw that he was being stared down by three children, on one bed. Tommy sighed,

"Wilbur Wilbur Wilbur, where have you been?"

Ranboo crossed his arms,

"Do you know how worried we were?"

Wilbur blushed immediately and Tubbo smiled,

"Who were you with?"

Tommy looked him up and down,

"Were you out with our mom?!"

Wilbur blushed even more and opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. Ranboo burst into laughter,

"You are so flustered!"

Wilbur sighed,

"Okay okay, Avon asked me if I wanted to go out on a walk, and I said yes,"

The three's eyes widened as they heard Wilbur speak her actual name. Tubbo smiled even wider,

"She told you her name?!"

Wilbur facepalmed at his mistake,

"Y-Yeah?"

Tommy sighed dramatically,

"So did you guys finally get together?"

Wilbur shook his head quickly,

"No!"

Ranboo groaned,

"This is going to be painful to watch,"

Tubbo laughed,

"Yeah,"

WIlbur sighed,

"Why are you guys awake?"

They all shrugged. Tommy smirked,

"Bad sleep schedules,"

Wilbur facepalmed and sighed,

"Let's all just get some sleep,"

Ranboo smirked,

"Don't dream about A the whole night,"

Wilbur blushed and threw a pillow at the laughing boys.
