TW swearing, overthinking, mentions of alcoholism
the unpleasent sound of an alarm going off woke will out of his long sleep. he reached one hand over to the phone to hit the snooze button and went back to rolling over in his twin size bed. suddenly his phone chimed again, wilbur immediately remembered about the coffee date he planned with evelyn. he glanced over at his phone.

"FUCK"
will quickly rolled out of bed and started getting ready. he even shaved without cutting himself. he grabbed a hoodie that was on his desk chair and random pair of pants he pulled out of the dryer. he ran his hands through his curls to make them look a bit better and not as tangled. he finally opened evelyns message
evelyn
r we still on for noon?
of coursw
will made a typo by complete accident, but he was to stressed to worry about that now. he put on his shoes, made sure he had everything, and ran out the door, running down the stairs and out to the cold streets. will hurried down the street, not even realizing how cold it was. he turned more corners that he could count, he recognized evelyns building in the distance, he rested his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath and then walked up to the building's entrance
"woah, you aren't cold" will turned around to see evelyn getting out of her building, handing him his jacket "i kinda hung on to this last night, sorry about that" evelyn explained to which will just smiled back putting the jacket on. as they walked the streets and chatted they got to the cafe will told her about the night before. it was in a peaceful alleyway, there was faint jazz music playing from the inside of the cafe. as they walked, a smell of fresh coffee filling the room. the two sat down at table in the corner near a huge window.
"evelyn, i wanted to ask..." will mumbled "hm?" evelyn turned towards wilbur waiting for his question "where did you grow up?" will asked "oh!" evelyn was expecting a much more personal question by the way that will started off "i grew up in liverpool with my dad, my mum wasn't really around. she was busy drinking all the time but i still remember her being at parent teacher conferences and such so it not too bad, i always wanted to come to london and without knowing anyone i bought a train ticket and came here!"
evelyn explained happily, her voice full of happiness and joy. will was listening but he was also admiring her. the dull freckles on the bridge of her nose. her rosy cheeks that matched her lips perfectly.
" are you there?" evelyn looked at wilbur, concerned. will just smiled akwardly, realizing what he was doing he snapped out of it " yeah, i was listening. that sounds bold, I could never" he quickly added
" hey i wanted to let you that im working on something and i would love if you could help me out, if you want" will explained to the girl whose eyes sparkled " are you two ready to order?" a friendly bartender came by their table "oh, ill have a latte" wilbur answered " ill have a mocha with extra hot chocolate please, thank you" evelyn added with the same smile on her face from before. evelyn didn't even have enough time to say anything to will, she was cut of by her phone ringing
"oh sorry!" evelyn exclaimed " hey matt!, im with a friend!" evelyn moved the phone aside and turned to wilbur "ill be right back okay?" will nodded as he watched the girl step outside, she was laughing at this matt guy on the phone. wilbur slowly drowned in his thoughts. friend? who is this matt guy? why is she laughing at the phone? was he her boyfriend? wait, was wilbur jealous? of course not!
"hey im back" evelyn sat back down "so who is matt?" wilbur ask with a slightly harsh tone " oh dont worry about it" evelyn just brushed it off "so what was that song you said you were working on" she asked as the bartender dropped their drinks off.
evelyn opened a packet of sugar and added into her coffee. mixing it up. "oh it just a little tune i figured out, and now i need to come up with some lyrics and vocals" will said quietly looking down at the foam on the top of his cup with a pretty little design
after the two finished their drinks, they fought over who is paying, wilbur won. they made their way to the exit. wilbur watched every move evelyn made. the way she walked the way the top her nose crinkled when she laughed and the way her dimples showed whenever she'd smile it was adorable
as they walked through london, will kept talking about how he wanted to be like the arctic monkeys, what he listened to, and how much he loved music in general. evelyn was enjoying will's soothing voice and found it kind of cute that he was so passionate about something, especially that it was something he was really good at
when they parted ways, will was walking home with his hand in his pocket of the same jacket evelyn gave him back. he felt something unfamiliar in his right pocket. he pulled out a hairtie, it must be evelyns. it was a dirty olive green colour. will put it around his writst with a little smile on his face
as soon as evelyn got home she face-timed elodie, it was their little tradition, face-timing eachother at least once a day if the didnt already talk that day
" hey can you hear me alright?" elodie asked
"yep i can el"
"okay good, hey did you get home okay last night. I didn't talk to will since the party"
"yeah will walked me home, how do u know him by the way?"
"oh im his editor actually"
evelyn took a moment to process this, editor? why did he need an editor in the first place
"what do you mean, editor for music videos?"
"oh he hasn't told you has he?"
"told me what?"
"you know those videos i sometimes have on my computer, of games and such"
"yeah, why"
"well they are for wills youtube channel, he had it for quite a while now"
"really?"
"yeah, but you didn't hear this from me. he might not like that I told you"
"okay okay , so how old is will?"
"omg did you two even talk, and whats with all the questions? omg ev!"elodie looked at evelyn trough the screen with a smirk
"what? omg elodie no its nothing, there's nothing in between us!"
evelyn reassured, or wait. was there anything in between them?
"mkay if you say so?" elodies cheeky smile forming
"oh god i swear im just helping him with some songs"
"yeah okay i get it" elodie joked sarcasticly
"oh piss off" evelyn laughed while hanging up
this left her thinking, sure will was really nice and friendly but she didn't like him. he was just a friend that she happened to click with pretty soon and that was it, right?
