Izzy and I clap our hands together in a form of applause, the both of us still remained on her bed with Coop standing right in front of us.

He can't help but roll his eyes, a small smile playing at his lips.

"Yeah. Um I've been meaning to tell you guys, and it's not that I don't like being paid to hang out with my best friend practically but I just need a job you know? It has benefits and everything."

Coop's left hand is in his pocket while the other is going along with his words in this movement and he looks so proud of himself that he seems to be glowing.

He got a job.

Since Coop knows almost twelve languages fluently, this new software company hired him in a heartbeat, his job being to translate their words, letters, and emails so their business partners in foreign countries can understand.

He's going to get paid good money and finally has a reason to wear a suit.

I sign to him, saying that I'm proud and he begins to laugh nervously again, his shoulders shrugging and yeah maybe Coop is the most humble human being I have ever fucking met.

"Yeah um thanks like I'm proud of myself too, you know? I mean I even get like an office. Like it's not big or anything but it's also not like a shitty cubicle. It has a door and stuff and I feel like it may be one of those fancy ones too. Like the one's that are made of that shiny dark brown wood with one of those handles that make a dada sound when you turn it. Like fuck, I'm going to have an expensive fucking door guys."

Izzy doesn't really say anything, she just responds with a wide smile and opens her arms wide when she sits herself up, Coop walking to her immediately to accept her hug.

She makes a small circle on his back with her hand and he kisses the top of her head before he laughs again and we all just stand there smiling for a bit.

"Have you told Danny yet, Coop?" she finally speaks, her tone even bubblier than usual.

He runs his fingers through his hair before nodding.

"Yeah. He said he's happy for me and wanted to go shopping with me to get some ties since the one I have from tenth year isn't exactly suitable."

I roll my eyes before exaggerating a gasp.

'What, really!?' I mouth, Coop flipping me off quickly before all three of us chuckle.

"Yeah. I was wondering if you two wanted to come with as well? I mean it would help make the whole situation of Danny and I look less suspicious and I really enjoy you two hanging out with me."

"Oh, Coop! How you flatter us!"

He laughs again before bending down to tap her forehead, Izzy answering for the both of us immediately after.

"Of course, Coop. I've been wanting to meet this Danny of yours anyway. Just tell me when and I'll fit you into my planning book."

Izzy winks and I nudge her shoulder teasingly before, Coop sits himself at the end of the bed, the mattress drooping a bit.

"Sorry about that by the way. It's just that-"

"Coop, you don't have to explain. I understand."

His smile fades for a second before it's forced unnaturally, everything seeming to be plastic.

"Um I just wish sometimes that he would..."

He stops himself from saying anymore before shaking his head, changing the subject since he feels that he will kill the happy mood if he speaks of his concealed feelings.
