From Amsterdam to London

Back again with another one!

I'm not sure that they got from Amsterdam to London by plane, but once again, we're just going to go with it! For the sake of the story!

—------------------------------------------------------

The day after the Amsterdam pre party, it was straight to London for the last pre party. With Bulbasaur quickly stuffed into Jere's hand luggage and a quick breakfast, he and the other act were on their way. They were each quickly given a ticket each, before making their way to the plane. Jere wouldn't have thought much about it, if it wasn't for the fact that (Y/N) was sitting in the window seat, right next to his seat. She just sat there, as carefree as she alway was, looking out of the window with music playing in her earbuds. She looked comfortable, wearing big pants and an oversized hoodie, with her hair tied up and out of the way. Jere had never seen her like that. He had seen her wearing casual clothes before, but never this casual.

Jere didn't know how long he stood there staring at her, but apparently long enough for her to realize that he was looking. She took one of her earbuds out and smiled at him, as he started making his way to his seat next to her.

"Nice to see you here", she laughed. "And I thought I was going to be bored on this flight".

Jere couldn't help but chuckle a little. "No, you won't be able to get me away that easy".

"That makes me happy".

Jere was just about to ask her if that was true, when the aisle seat was filled. Theodor Andrei smiled at them.

"Well, what a small world", he said, taking his jacket off. Jere had nothing against Theodor. No, he actually quite liked him. But Jere had kind of hoped that he and (Y/N) would be able to sit alone on the whole trip. That was when Jere noticed Jimoh and Andrii from Tvorchi, and Remo Forrer, sitting in the row on the other side of the aisle, all holding back small giggles, while looking in the direction of Theodor, Jere and (Y/N). Jere suddenly felt like he was back in school, being lightly picked on by the other boys, due to the fact that he was talking to a girl. It was also then that Jere realized what that meant. Both Andrii, Jimoh and Remo knew. And from the way Theodor was smiling at him, Jere realized that he also knew. That slightly terrified Jere. That meant that other than his brother, Luke Black and Zoran and Dimir from Let 3, these four people also knew. Jere could feel himself getting pale, wondering how many actually knew.

It didn't take long before the plane took off. During the first few minutes of the trip, none of the three people in the row said anything to each other. Theodor was quick to find his headphones, staring off into nowhere while slightly nodding his head. Jere turned his focus to (Y/N). It wasn't hard for him. When she just sat there, he just couldn't help but look at her. He could her some of the music through her earbuds. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't be sure, so he just had to ask.

"What are you hearing?", Jere finally decided to ask her.

(Y/N) chuckled. "Rammstein".

"I love Rammstein!", Jere said, almost like a happy child.

"I know", (Y/N) smiled.

"What? How?"

"Your tattoo".

"Oh". Jere did remember watching that video, where she started screaming about the Rammstein tattoo on his chest.

"Wanna listen?"

"Of course!"

(Y/N) took one of her earbuds out and gave it to Jere. Jere took it and put it in his ear, while he instinctively scooted a little closer to her. He was about to scream like an overjoyed child when she started playing "Deutschland". But when he looked at her, he just couldn't help but ask: "Do you like them?"
