becoming an mcyt

Chapter four

I'd been at my dads for just over an hour just sitting on my phone when finally it was time to see Catrin at the park.

I hadn't seen her in what felt like decades and I was super excited, I wanted to tell her all about tommy and tubbo and it would just be nice to see her in general.

I decided to change as my clothes smelt strongly of smoke. I rifled through my overnight bag till I found an outfit. I decided on a deep blue jumper thrown over a shirt with a leather jacket because it was getting late. I paired it with some jewellery, docs and some dark wash jeans.

Iris' outfit:

Then I did my makeup and went out the door shouting bye to my dad who was laying on the sofa watching tv.

I hoped my brother would be okay while I was gone.

I made my five minute walk to the park and met Catrin there.

She was really stunning. They had blonde hair and green eyes and was really tall. I always wished I looked like them. She was wearing a white cropped top with a kind of black jacket over and a cute knee length skirt.

Catrin's outfit:

We hung out for hours until we got bored and went to hers.

Her house was so nice, their room was much cooler and bigger than mine and they streamed a bit so had quite a nice setup. She had books and coke bottles stacked against their walls as well as a mattress on the floor giving it a very grunge look.

Her family was kinda rich but that meant her parents were Never really around. They had an older sister but she was away at uni for the next couple of months. So it was just us.

I used to have a HUGE crush on Catrin but I think it was just a classic case of "having a crush on your best friend" that almost everyone had. I think?

Anyway, we chatted, laughed and played Minecraft until we were bored sick.

We decided to order pizza and while we ate she started talking.

"So, tell me about these guys then" Catrin said nudging me slyly.

I rolled my eyes and giggled.

"There's not much to say really, we hung out, played minecraft and ate food nothing really happened." I said suddenly shy and unable to talk about it.

"But do you LIKE them" she replied suggestively.

"Well of course I like them!" I said pretending to be oblivious

"Fuck off." She said with her mouthful of pizza "you know exactly what I mean"

And I did know what she meant.

"I have no idea" I said sighing

And that was true, I really had no clue how I felt about either of them. I'd only met them once so I guess that was understandable but still. It was annoying to say the least.

Catrin just shrugged clearly noticing my discomfort. They turned on the tv and put on a horror film.

I slowly fell asleep on her shoulder and could hear the slow beating of their heart. It was peaceful, and much better than being at my dads. Although I had a restless sleep, worrying about my brother.

*** Catrin POV ***

I looked down at iris, lying on my shoulder sleeping peacefully and thought about the feelings I'd pushed down so deep.

I was completely in love with her.

We'd first met in nursery and so we'd been friends for years. We had bad patches and good ones but through it all we've basically been there for each other.

I realised I had a fat crush on iris a couple years ago and I think she did too but that must have passed. I tried to forget about it back then worried that it would ruin the platonic connection we already had. But I sometimes still thought about it.

Looking at her now peacefully on my shoulder awakened some of those feelings and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

She was so beautiful. Her eyes were so kind and gentle and although she came off sarcastic and angry she was one of the most angelic people I'd ever met. She'd always been there for me, through good and bad.

I realised I was smiling like a fool and quickly stopped. What was I doing? Nothing good could come of this. And anyway by the sounds of things this Tommy and tubbo had her under their influence.

I swore I'd heard those names somewhere before but couldn't for the life of me remember.

Shit. I thought, it's getting late and I should probably take iris back home. She was seventeen and still didn't have her license. What a loser. I internally rolled my eyes, sighed and started to shake iris.

"Come on irissss, you're heavy and I can't feel my legs. Also don't forget that I have to take you home because you keep failing your fucking driving test."

Iris just turned over and ignored me. It was immensely cute.

I grinned and landed on an idea. I stood up and lifted iris into my arms. She was small and I was strong so it wasn't difficult.

I walked out the door and put her in the backseat of my car before turning back to the house to grab a key and shut the door.

As I drove off I couldn't help but look in the rear view mirror at her sleeping. I didn't mean to be creepy but she just looked so calm. I didn't want to break that.

As I drove off into the night with iris in my backseat I couldn't help but smile.

Yes I loved her, yes it could never be but I cherished moments like this and prayed they'd never end.

We soon arrived and I dropped her off watching her groggily walk up her front stairs and wave back at me half heartedly, clearly exhausted.

I drove home in silence with no music. Humming to myself and being grateful I had a friend like her In my life.

(A/N - HELLO ALL! This was a bit different but wanted to get catrin's perspective ;) hopefully you like them and I tried to use she/they pronouns after I decided it fit her character really well. Are you starting to see the love interests....)
