My Brother's Best Friend

t w e n t y - f i v e

It was Friday again and that meant movie night with Tom. He said he was going to come over at sometime in the afternoon and that he'd bring the snacks.

After the day you and Emily hung out, you and her got much closer. You'd text each other and sometimes she or you would comeback over and watch a couple of episodes of Gilmore Girls every time.

It was currently 6pm so you thought it was time to make some dinner.

You were totally obsessed with Italian food. So it didn't take long for you to decide you were going to make some Spaghetti alla Carbonara, knowing the recipe by heart.

You got all the ingredients ready and started by firstly filling a pot with water and then putting it on the stove.

You put on some music so that it wouldn't be that silent anymore. As you were taking care of the sauce Hello? by Clairo came on and you started bouncing your head to the rhythm.

"Are you into me, like I'm into you?
Do you wanna do the things I wanna do with you?" you sang, "You're so close, yet so-" and you jumped as you felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist.

"Relax, it's just me." the persons' voice spoke and you recognized it as Toms'.

"You Idiot!" you said as you turned to face him. "You could've at least said something before sneaking up on me like that and scaring the shit out of me!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Forgive me?" he fake pouted and you playfully rolled your eyes but nodded.

"Now, can I get a kiss?" he asked, grinning and you answered by leaning in and softly pressing your lips to his.

You pulled away and looked up at him, seeing him smiling like an idiot which made you smile too. He then gave you one more peck before you turned around to check on the sauce again.

His arms stayed around your waist and his head was now resting on the crook of your neck, watching as you stirred the food in front of you.

"Spaghetti alla Carbonara?" he asked, recognizing the scent.

"Sì." you answered proudly.

"I knew it, smells amazing." he said before placing a kiss to your neck.

"Thanks." you smiled.

After eating dinner, you started your usual movie night. The movie you were watching was Captain America: Civil War. Where Tom made his first ever appearance as Peter Parker/Spider-man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It was the first Marvel movie you had ever seen and the reason you even watched it in the first place was only because of Tom. It was kind of his 'big' debut and you were all so unbelievably happy for him.

You didn't remember much of it though since the last time you watched it was when it first premiered.

"Aww you were so cute back then!" you said after seeing his first scene.

"So I'm not cute now?" he asked, looking down at you and you immediately tilted your head up to meet his gaze as it was laying on his shoulder with his arm around you.

"No, no! That's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean?" he teased and you rolled your eyes.

"I mean like- back then when I looked at you I just wanted you to wrap your arms around me and hold my hand." you explained and continued,

"But when I look at you now I just get unholy thoughts and want you to f-" you even chuckled at first but immediately stopped talking as you realized what you were about to say.
