Darcy POV:

I smiled at Tennyson as he came into the kitchen. He smiled back and the look in his eyes made me flush.

I turned back to June. "ALWAYS HAD HIGH, HIGH HOPES!"

She winked at me. Crap. She saw my red cheeks.

The doorbell rang and Tennyson left the kitchen to answer.

June stopped singing and grinned at me. "Do you normally fall for guys this quick, Darcy?" she asked teasingly.

I flushed harder. "No- i-"

She raised an eyebrow.

"No, not normally," I said.

Ally jumped off the bench and grabbed my spoon off me, giving it a massive lick. "They've, like, only just met, June, don't speed things up more than they need to go."

"Hello!" said Lola, popping her head in.

"Hi!" I said, going over and hugging her.

"Is Jonty here yet?" asked Ally, chucking the spoon in the sink and rinsing her hands.

"Yeah, he's in the lounge with Tennyson."

The doorbell rang again.

"That'll be the pizza dude," June said, brushing her hands off on her shorts and going to answer the door.

(Tennyson POV)

Jonty and I set up the lounge room as the girls for changed into their PJs upstairs.

"That smells so good!" exclaimed Darcy as they came down the stairs.

I looked up and OH MY GOD. She was wearing a fluffy, cow patterned onesie, a size or two too big for her, with the sleeves coming over her hands. And she looked so cute.

"I like your onesie, Darcy," Jonty said offhandedly.

Darcy grinned. "I like it too."

Jonty shot me a look and I realised I was still stupidly gaping.

I closed my mouth and swallowed as the girls passed me and all tried to squeeze onto one couch.

Jonty and I balanced the pizza boxes precariously on the different sized coffee tables we'd shoved together.

Jonty plopped himself down on the single couch and I sat down on one end of the remaining couch and switched on the TV.

Giggling and squealing, Darcy got pushed off the couch.

I laughed and patted the couch seat beside me. "You can sit here, Darcy," I said.

Darcy smiled at me and say down, sticking her tongue out at the other girls. June returned the face and Ally yelled for the remote.

I threw it over and she went onto Disney+.

"What do you want to watch first?" She asked.

Everyone yelled out a different movie.

"How about you choose what we watch first, Darcy," Jonty suggested. "Since this is your first time."

Darcy blinked. "Oh! Um..."

"Also, can we start the pizza yet?" Jonty complained. "I'm hungry."

"Yeah-" Ally started, but before she could finish, Jonty leapt off his seat and grabbed two massive pieces. He sat down and examined them.

"Does anyone want my pineapple?"

This started a heated argument about whether pineapple was meant to be on pizza or not, while Darcy got the remote and browsed the movie selection. She eventually decided on Hamilton (I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself...) and when she pressed play everyone settled down with their pizza, Jonty grumbling quietly about how many times he'd seen it.

Three hours later... (Time skip brought to you by my pb and avo toast)

June picked the next movie, Jonty rushed to the toilet and Lola roused the half-asleep Ally as I finally removed my arm from Darcy's shoulders and handed her a tissue.

I hadn't been able to resist putting it there when a tear rolled down her cheek during That Would Be Enough. And for the next two hours she'd gotten closer and closer until she was sniffling into my shoulder at the end of Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story.

I knew it was soon, but I actually really liked her. I was so content with my arm around her, watching her smile and cry and sing along. I just- I don't know.

Darcy blew her nose and rubbed at the damp spot on my shirt. "Sorry," she said.

I shrugged. "It's fine," I said. "I understand."

"It's so good!" she said. "I just love it so much!"

I laughed. "So does everyone recently, it seems. June and Lola definitely do."

"It's so brilliant and-"

Jonty dumped a box of favorites in the empty pizza box and landed heavily on his seat, groaning as June clicked on The Princess Diaries. "Ugh, not this,"he grumbled, grabbing a Marvelous Creation.

"I can bet he'll be asleep before it's halfway done," I said to Darcy, making her giggle.

She got a Turkish Delight and sat back, leaning into me slightly. It's probably unconcious, but I don't move for fear that she'll lean the other way.

God. I am so gone.
