Dotty placed her clothes from that day in the washing machine whilst Fionn sorted out the washing powder and liquid etc, she closed the door as Fionn pressed start. She thanked him which he shook his head in response.

"It's nothing." He told her, taking her hands in his and leading her to the sofa. "So, are you going straight home tomorrow or do you want to do anything before hand?"

Dotty sighed, "I really wish I could. I really do but tomorrow afternoon I'm going to Ireland for three days to see my family."

"What about in the morning?"

"I have to go home and pack, besides, you being up before noon, voluntarily? That would be a shocker." She teased poking his ribs. Fionn squealed slightly and moved away.

"I could come and help you, if you want? If you don't, that's fine. I understand." Fionn replied fiddling with his pyjama bottoms as he sat shirtless with Dotty in her pyjamas next to him, the telly playing softly in front of them, what show? They didn't know or care for that matter.

Dotty raised her eyebrows at him, "something tells me you don't want to get rid of me?"

"No? What gives?" Fionn gasped jestingly putting a hand over his heart. "Is it a crime to what to spend time with you?"

"Potentially."

Fionn chuckled, "Potentially? What's that supposed to mean?"

Dotty tapped her nose not telling him. Fionn pouted But he knew it didn't have the same affect as hers. "It's a secret." She giggled. "Ah!"

She jumped in surprise as Fionn's cold hands attacked her sides tickling her. Fionn was sat on top of her his legs either side of her body as she squirmed under his touch. "Are you going to tell me now?"

"Nope!"

Fionn didn't give up, until she threatened to throw up on him. He backed off of her almost instantly leaving the girl smirking in triumph.

"You're so mean to me." Fionn grumbled folding his arms.

"Aw, I'm sorry." She cooed crawling so that she was now next to him at the far end of the sofa. Dotty wrapped her arms around Fionn, burying her head into the crook of his neck. "Would it make you feel better if I let you come and help me pack?"

"I don't know, will it?"

Dotty rolled her eyes, her eyes lashing brushing the skin of his neck as her breath tickled him too. "Touchè."

Fionn pulled the girl onto his lap and she readjusted herself so that her side was pressed against his bare chest and her head was next to his. "I kinda like you, Fionn." She told him her hands looping with his.

"I kinda like you too, Dotty. Despite how bloody awkward it can be, I really and truly do enjoy every time I am with you."

"We are rather awkward aren't we?"

The boy nodded, "I can hear the boys all chorusing a 'no shit'. That's creepy."

"I know, it's kind of odd then not being around. I feel like one of them are going to pop up from behind the sofa or something." Dotty agreed, "it's nice though. Just being the two of us."

"It is."

Dotty woke up early the next morning. She had showered the night before and thankfully her clothes and underwear that were drying on the radiator in the guest bedroom she was in, her fully dried. She quickly changed and stays din the bedroom.

Fionn's house was very quiet, the only noise being the traffic outside. Dotty knew Fionn wouldn't be awake at the time she was up at as it was six in the morning.

Staying in the guest bedroom, Dotty read on her phone for a little while. She didn't want to be rude and do anything else in the house that wasn't hers nor wake Fionn, after all she was a guest and she did not want to be over stepping the line.

An hour later, she heard Fionn's bedroom door open and close and his feet padding on the laminate flooring until they stopped outside of where Dotty was sat. Fionn knocked the door quietly and pushed the door open slightly, poking his around it and giving her a smile.

"You're awake," He said and entered fully, already dressed but his hair a mess. Fionn sat down beside her on the bed as she placed her phone beside her. "How did you sleep?"

"As good as usual." Dotty nodded, "what about you?"

"Same here, how long have you been awake?"

"Not long."

"Long enough to get dressed and read, though." Fionn added, "we'll have some breakfast and we'll go to yours if that's alright?"

"It's cool." She told him. "I told my dad last night that you were coming over this morning, he said mum will be very happy to meet you now and not when we get to Urk, next week."

Fionn but his lip awkwardly, "Okay, erm, is this alright to wear then?" He glanced down at his dark blue jeans and pink polo shirt.

"Fionn, it's fine. My mum couldn't care less about what you wear, you've already met the most protective parent of mine and he loves you."

"Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously. I wouldn't have said it otherwise. The only thing you'll have to fix is your hair that is all over the place." She ruffled it even more.

"Obviously, Dot, I haven't done it yet." He laughed swatting he hands away.

"It's very curly." She noted, "and very floppy."

"Is that nice?"

"It's lovely." She smiled pushing her glasses up,  "Now, I need to take my retainers out, they taste awful."

Fionn snorted and pushed her up and out do the room towards the bathroom wear her wash kit was set on the side of the sink. Fionn sat down on the stool that was nearby as he brush through his hair, styling it quickly so it still fell naturally and don't have much product in it.

"How about some toast?" He suggested once they were both finished.

"A'rite."
