"oh shut the fuck up quackity, I bet you think your so fucking funny huh?" wilbur asked looking down at the shorter, black-haired male.

"o-oh! uh oh! wilby's angry at me! i'm so scared~" alex stated, his voice stupidly quivering as he pretended to be scared. you had to admit, you were still weary of the man, not sure if you could fully trust putting your feelings in his hands again, but nevertheless, you figured you'd probably have to loosen up sooner or later. he would only be here for a short amount and you wanted to share the small moments you had with him, plus- everyone else looked like they were having fun and you didn't wanna be the fuckin' debbie downer who ruined everything for everyone.

"wait so where are we going to eat?" niki asked as she walked next to you.

"uhm, if i remember correctly miss y/n actually owes us a meal" wilbur commented, letting out a snarky laugh afterward.

rolling your eyes you looked at the group, giving them a straight face, "i am going to be poor after this. i hate you wilbur" you stated, jokingly, obviously, to which wilbur pretend to be clearly offended.

"why don't we go meet toby at like a nandos or something?" tommy laughed.

"you want to take quackity to a chicken restaurant tommy? A CHICKEN RESTAURANT?" wilbur exclaimed.

"it's quintessentially british wilbur- we must inaugurate him to the british lifestyle" tommy defended.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS A NANDOS I JUST WANT TO EAT" alex said, throwing his hands up with a chuckle

looking over at alex, you couldn't help but softly smile, he was even more attractive in person. you found yourself fidgeting with your fingers and looking down half of the time due to being scared of making eye contact with him. not scared, but more nervous i guess you could say. gaining a surge of confidence you decided to walk next to him turning to him as you walked in the direction of the restaurant. considering you were in central london, everything was quite close together, though one could say you guys looked ridiculous hauling your luggage around. you didn't really mind though, adrenaline was pumping through your veins and you were really happy, not to mention, you were used to getting weird stares when walking with tommy constantly.

seeing your shoes next to his feet, alex looked up from the ground and gave you a tiny grin, "what's up y/n?" he questioned softly.

"nothing really-" you quietly laughed, "just wanted to walk next to you, duck boy" you said, sticking your hands into the pockets of your jacket. "it's weird seeing you in person, y'know? you're like way shorter than i expected"

"oooh 'you're way shorter than i expected'" alex said, mocking your accent, "shut the fuck up y/n at least i'm still taller than you AND i'm not british" alex said defensively, as he stuck his hand out and ruffled your hair, "HA you short motherfucker".

"you stink? did you know that alex? you absolutely reek" you said, playfully punching his side.

"OI LOVEBIRDS! are you guys going to stop having public sex?" tommy joked, letting out an obnoxious wheeze.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP TOMMY" you said, pushing the lanky boy into the street, making sure there were no incoming cars of course. 

"what the fuck is wrong with you, you sick child? why are you thinking of me and y/n having sex?" alex joked.

"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SEX IS-"

"is that toby?" tommy happily exclaimed as you approached the restaurant, the blonde male ran into the shop and immediately engulfed his other best friend in a hug. deciding it was only appropriate, you ran in as well, giving tubbo a hug as well.

"GUYS!" toby yelled with the largest grin ever, "OH THE WHOLE GANG IS HERE! this is brilliant" he exclaimed as he wrapped his arms around the two of you. "WILBUR! NIKI! ALEX!".

toby went around greeting everyone, mostly making jokes with tommy as you and alex searched for a table. you sat down at a large booth with room for everyone, conveniently sitting next to alex in the process. placing your hand on the cool leather seat, his fingers slightly brushed against yours, your face turning a bright shade of pink.

"you okay y/n?" alex asked, furrowing his brows a bit in confusion as he got slightly worried.

"everything's fine!" you reassured, awkwardly laughing. noticing this, tommy turned to you and couldn't help but laugh, it was weird seeing his best friend all blushy and shy . though you usually weren't the loudest person, you definitely often made jokes and made sure to tease others playfully when you could- so it was weird seeing you so reserved, especially to him.

as time progressed you couldn't help but feel like you were dreaming. the soft, warm lighting of the restaurant gave everything a nice glow, and the fact that you were with all your best friends felt completely surreal. you also couldn't help but feel like alex kept stealing glances at you, sure you could be completely imagining it, especially considering the fact that you had the biggest crush on him. but you were sure of it. everything just felt so odd. you needed answers and you needed them soon. you slightly picked at your food and ended up giving the rest of it to tommy. seeing as the kid had a crazy appetite for how skinny he was. taking your phone out, you pressed on niki's contact and sent her a quick message-

y/n <3!:
