TW// some verbal abuse

I got around 4 hours of sleep last night. But how could I fall asleep when he almost kissed me. As much as I wanted to believe that it had romantic intentions I could help but wonder if that was the reason. Did he have feelings for me or did he just get caught up in the moment? I eventually fell asleep only to be greeted a few hours later by the sound of my alarm clock. I silently protested to myself before getting up and getting ready for the day. Nick was still asleep, probably because he was up for most of the night at Karl's. I heard him arrive back at around 2 in the morning but I pretended to be asleep. He walked to his room with a stupid smile on his face. Luckily I managed to hold back my giggles until he left the room. 

I got changed and went outside to see the bright smile of Niki.

I then remembered 5 minutes into the drive that I hadn't told her about last night.

"Oh my god, Niki I forgot to tell you about last night!" I said excitedly. She looked at me, excitement and wonder flashing in her eyes.

"What?" she asked, making sure to keep her eyes on the road and me.

"Ok so basically Toby came over last night!" I squealed. She let out a small gasp followed by a squeal.

"NO WAY! What happened?" she asked excitedly. I couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm.

"Well basically he came over to apologise for all the stuff Maddie said to me and I forgave him and then, I don't know, I got this weird wave of confidence and asked him to watch a movie," I blabbered "He picked a horror movie so I snuggled into him and when the movie ended we almost kissed!"

Niki's jaw dropped to the floor as she started screaming. 

"NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY!" she kept on screaming. Of course, I was pissing myself laughing. She kept asking me questions about it until we came close to the school and I had to get her to calm down. When we pulled into the car park, I immediately saw Tubbo talking to a couple of his friends. God, he looked so cute. He noticed me and smiled before walking over to me.

"Ooooo your boyfriend is coming over," Niki cooed. I felt myself start to blush as I elbowed her playfully. 

"Shut up," I said, trying to hide the blush that was creeping onto my face. She winked at me before heading towards the canteen. 

"Hey!" he said before giving me a warm hug. I smiled widely.

"Hi!" I said. He pulled away from the hug and looked me up and down. He blushed and looked at the floor.

"You look really pretty today," he said quietly. I giggled.

"Toby Smith, are you flirting with me?" I asked jokingly. He immediately turned beet red.

"No- I mean I- just meant-," he stuttered, clearly flustered. I couldn't help but smile at how nervous he seemed. 

"I'm kiddinggg," I said "You are incredibly adorable when you get flustered though," He looked back at me.
