"So what do you want me to do about it?" You asked Tom.

"Forget that I was a dick."

"I don't know what you're talking about." You shrugged sarcastically. Tom looked down and smiled while fidgeting with his hands.

"I like you Y/n." He said with a suddenly strong voice, "You're odd."

"Well I hope that's a good thing." You laughed.

"Sorry, let me redo that- I like you Y/n." He said this time in a low voice and raising an eyebrow dramatically as a joke, you resisted from laughing.

"You're incredible." He said seriously. You stared at him and your heart melted.
Ugh, do you kiss him? Or are you too good for that right now? He brushed some hair out of your face,

"I don't know if you're going to slap me, but I've been waiting to do this since the night I first did it." He leaned in and kissed you. You smiled at his last comment and wrapped your arms around him. You felt his warm hand on your back and you were happy, truly happy. Your hand was touching the skin on his back and you drew circles with your fingers.

Then Haz came into your mind.
Wait.
What did Haz mean?
Ugh, now you'll only be able to think about Haz.

Tom pulled away, "If you don't want me to kiss you just slap me I won't be mad."
Nevermind You could manage to not think about Haz.

You smiled "You know when you're not a jerk you can be really cute." and then you pulled him back in. You stared to lay down and Tom followed and ended up over you, and you guys hit the remote and turned the TV on.

"Holy-" You both sat up. And laughed a little bit.

"Dang, that was starting to get good." Tom laughed. You rolled your eyes.
Tom couldn't stop himself from loving you, but he also couldn't stop thinking about his past.

"Tom you okay?" You asked.

"Y-yeah, sorry."

"Ya seem a little distracted, huh?" You laughed.

"No, I'm not distracted, I'm getting inspiration."

"Inspiration?" You blushed. He nodded.

"Inspiration for what?"

"A few things." Tom laid on the couch and had you lay by him. He hugged you so you were both cuddling and warm.

"Tell me."

"Ways to kiss you, andd maybe a raise, andd-"

"What?!" You half sat up. "No. See now I know you're using me. You just want me to really like you so I can be your toy." "A raise won't make me like you even more so you might as well go." You said pointing at the door and walking over to it.

"What? No Y/n you're the hardest worker I know. You deserve a raise." Tom said seriously.

"I'm so done with you guys using me and messing with me. If you want to kiss me or date me it has to be offical from now on. So goodbye Tom."

"Who is using you?" Tom stood up concerned.

"You!"

"No I am not. But is there somebody else? You said you GUYS."

"N-no....yes? I have no idea." You sat on the floor in frustration. Everything is always so difficult and you just wanted a simple life.

"Talk to me Y/n." He sat down by you. You looked up at him and fought back tears. You didn't realize how badly you needed to cry, but still you didn't do it.

"This is so stupid. I don't even know why I'm emotional, I was just having fun with you then I freaked out over nothing. I'm sorry."

"Y/n. Who is using you?"

"No one."

"Who's messing with you?"

"... Harrison." Toms eyes got wide.

"He kissed me today and I don't know if he likes me in THAT way or not now."
Tom bit his lip and thought to himself.

"But don't say anything to him!" You covered your face with your hands, "I shouldn't have said anythin-" Tom scooped you up and set you on his lap so you were faced towards him. Then he hugged you. You squeezed hard to take away useless emotions.

"Would you wanna be my girlfriend?" Tom asked and you stopped squeezing. "I just want to be able to say you're mine. I don't want other guys touching you. And you don't have to be confused on how I feel because you now that I really like you, a lot. I wanna take you places and tell people that you're my partner. I just- you said it has to be offical from now on. It doesn't have to be crazy serious, just to the point where we don't date other people."

"I- I like the sound of that." You smiled.

"Good. I was scared I was gonna screw that up." He sighed in relief. You sat there and talked for about 20 minutes when you decided you wanted to sleep.

"Imma go to bed."

"Mmk." Tom said.

"You wanna come?" Tom looked up shocked. "No idiot!" You said "We can sleep together, but we ain't SLEEPING together."

"Yet." You punched his shoulder.
