// It's just you and I tonight // (A Matty Healy Fanfiction)

Day 12 continued

We walk to the tube station and buy Day Travelcards again. We catch the train to Oxford Circus, which takes about 5 minutes. We step off the train hand in hand and walk through the barriers and up to the street above. It's completely packed with people even though it's relatively early and, like everywhere in London, everyone seems to have a purpose and are all going about their business. Matty leads me past Topshop, River Island, Urban Outfitters and American Apparel (all with beautifully decadent windows) to a bus stop. Pulled up next to it is a red bus with colourful writing on the side saying "London Sightseeing Tours". Matty grins at me

"Ta-da!" He says laughing "the limousine is here, Madame" I grin back and reply

"Why thank you, Sir!" He bows and then we laugh as he pulls me onto the bus. We pay the surly looking driver and run up to the open-top second floor.

An over enthusiastic blonde woman, who reminds me a little of Ally, leads the tour. She lectures on and on about all the sights we see but I'm too busy listening to Matty to pay her any attention. As we go past places he tells me his own anecdotes about school trips and family outings gone wrong. We see Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament and countless statues of important men. We're just pulling back up to where we started when Matty raises his eyebrows at something on his phone

"What is it?" I ask

"George... He says him and Jamie had a fight... They've broke up I think" my heart sinks

"Oh my god... Really?!" I feel so guilty all over again

"Yeah... He says she hasn't been the same since you left, really moody apparently"

"Oh god I bet she hates me"

"Probably..." Matty says matter-of-factly "you should probably patch it up with her if you want a lift home!"

"Oh yeah that's a point... I'll call her tonight, don't let me forget"

"K babe" he says as he locks his phone and the bus comes to a stop "what time is it?..." He checks his phone "let's do lunch! How about we go Covent Garden?"

"Sounds good!" I say as we walk down the stairs and thank the driver, stepping off the bus. We walk along the street and he explains that there's an alley that you walk down which cuts down to Covent Garden. We are about to go through when Matty stops. There's a poster which says "YO!Sushi! new restaurant this way!" The poster features a Japanese lucky cat and lots of bright colours.

"Aw, Hols let's go Yo Sushi instead!"

"What's that?" I ask curiously "I've never had sushi before!"

"You've never had sushi before?! We're definitely going, you'll love it" he takes my hand and leads me down the alley to the restaurant. Everything in there is brightly coloured and modern. A thin conveyor belt transports cold sushi dishes on different colour plates around the room. Matty strolls in and asks for a booth. We sit at a comfy white leather one right next to the conveyor belt and he explains to me how it works.

"All the plates are colour coded by price and you can pick anything off here or click that button to order hot stuff!" I nod and he says "so yeah, that's literally it! Go for it!" he grabs a dish of orange chicken from the conveyor belt and digs in with his chopsticks. I look around, a little bewildered about what to do. Matty seems to notice this because he says "do you want me to just get a shit load of stuff for you to try? You look confused!"

"Yeah that would help!" we laugh

"Okay" he smiles and presses the button, making a plastic rod in between us light up red. The Japanese music playing over the speakers is interrupted by a voice saying "YO! YO! YO!".
