when they arrived in nyc, finn wanted to take molly on their date before anything else. he learned that he had several photoshoots and interviews while they were there. so he decided to spend the first day, on their first date.

the couple walked the streets of new york city, trying to find a good place to eat. they finally decided on sushi, since molly had been craving it.

"im sorry i couldn't plan a crazy cool date, my schedules so booked." finn apologized for about the fourth time since they had left the hotel.

"i told you, its okay, the effort is all that counts." molly assured him, her hand reaching over the table to his.

"how may i- oh my gosh, youre finn wolfhard!" molly and finn both cringed, looking up to their waitress.

"that i am." finn said calmly, secretly wishing he could just go somewhere without getting recognized.

"could i get a picture?" she asked, he agreed and they took a quick picture.

"can you take our order now?" molly asked, as politely as she could. the waitress looked her up and down in disgust.

"what would you like?" the girl asked, finn, only placing her attention on him.

"well, you could restart that question. first apologize to molly, then ask us what we would like." finn made sure he was clear on the fact that he didnt like her rudeness towards molly.

"oh, uh, sorry." the girl mumbled, kind of looking at molly. molly could tell finn was trying his best not to flip his shit on the waitress.

"okay, can we just get two orders of california rolls and avocado rolls?" finn asked and she wrote them down with a big smile.

"anything else?" she asked finn, who just shook his head, wanting her to go away. once she left he put his head in his hands and rubbed his face.

he looked up at molly and frowned, the lavender haired girl gave him a small smile.

"im so sorry." finn mumbled, molly reached over and grabbed his hand again.

"its okay, im alright, i understand that she has some fangirl crush on you and is intimidated by me." molly said with a light chuckle, just trying to lighten the mood.

"this is why i like you, molls." finn told her and she tilted her head in confusion. "you're so carefree and understanding, just different from any other girl ive met." he explained, she smiled at his words.

"im not like other girls." molly said with the sassiest voice she could put on, doing a little hair flip.

finn laughed at her actions and rolled his eyes, doing his own little hair flip.

"how much you wanna bet shes going to tweet about how rude we were?" finn asked, molly looked back at the waitress to see her typing away on her phone.

"or shes gonna just make sure all your fans hate me even more." molly responded, pulling out her phone, finn doing the same.

the pair waited for the notifications to see what the fans were gonna say.

after a few minutes finns phone started blowing up with tweets.

"molly grace controlls finn wolfhard and makes him pick her over his fans." finn read off his phone, seeing multiple people tweeting him about it.

"so she went with mine, what did we even bet?" molly asked, finn shrugged and took a sip of his water.

"some straight bs though." he muttered, now irritated that a 'fan' would ruin their date.

"we can clear it up when we go back to the hotel, just try to ignore it now?" molly suggested, finn nodded with a sigh, his jaw clenched as he wanted to tell the waitress off.

once their food came it was a different waitress, they both were thankful for that.

after eating they left the restaurant as quick as they could.

"wanna go to peels?" finn asked, slipping his hand into hers, not caring who saw.

"the clothing store you told me about?" molly asked back, finn nodded. "sure, it sounds cool." she answered.

they walked to the store which was just down the street from the restaurant. they didnt do much in the store besides banter over which shirt they were gonna get.

they ended up getting matching shirts with their names on them.

"we should get back to the hotel, the band has an early interview." finn said, as they walked through the city. he carried their bags in one hand and held her hand with his other.

"yeah, im pretty tired from getting up so early." molly responded, a small yawn escaping her mouth at the mention.

"okay, pretty girl, lets get back." finn smiled, kissing her forehead and they continued to walk.

when they got into the hotel elevator, molly wrapped her arms around finns body, hugging him tightly. finns chin resting on her head, his hand rubbing her back. the elevator door opened and in walked an older man.

"youre a beautiful couple." the man said, molly smiled as she kept her head on finns chest.

"thank you, sir." finn said.

the door opened for them and they walked out of the elevator. finn walked molly to the room that she shared with ayla, walking in with her. ayla was no where to be seen and they looked at each other confused.

"can you stay until she gets back?" molly asked, finn agreed and sat on mollys bed.

"why are you scared of being alone?" finn asked, molly frowned at his question.

"just, stuff with my past." molly mumbled, not wanting to tell finn about her parents death.

"oh, okay." he didnt want to make her say something she was comfortable talking about so he didnt ask any more.

she grabbed spandex from her suitcase and went into the bathroom to change. she left on the sweatshirt that finn had given her while they were walking.

"im gonna give you all of my clothes, if you look that good in them." finn joked, pulling the girl to him as he stood in front of her.

his hands cupped her face as their lips met for a kiss. mollys hands made their way to the back of his neck, allowing their lips to move together.

they didn't notice the hotel door open, which had ayla and conner behind it.

"okay, wolfhard, im gonna give you two seconds to get your tongue out of my sisters mouth." conner hissed, instantly finn backed away from molly, wiping his lips.

"conner, dont be a dick." molly groaned, now annoyed with her brother.

"have you guys seen twitter?" ayla asked, completely ignoring the siblings.

"the fans hating on my girl for no fucking reason because our waitress was a complete twat? yeah." finn muttered, ayla frowned and looked at molly who only heard one thing from that. finn called her, his girl.

"yeah so uh, finn you're gonna have to clear that all up." conner told him.

"already planning on it." finn responded, pulling out his phone. "okay, i'll see you all tomorrow." finn said, walking out of the hotel room.

"if i didnt love that kid so much, id kick his ass." conner said, referring to finn and what he just walked in on.

"goodnight conner." molly groaned, pushing her brother out of the hotel room. as soon as she turned around she was met with a smirking ayla.

"so, did he ask you?" the blonde asked, sitting on her knees as she was on her bed.

"no, it was only our first date." molly answered, ayla shrugged at what she said.

"you still like each other, a lot. plus, its been what, two months since you guys started hanging out constantly?" she questioned, molly plopped down on her bed.

"i guess, can we talk about this another time? im tired."
