pre!relationship road trip w the gang and colby realizes he’s in love with you while you and tara are just jamming out 🥺🥺🥺
Jamming out in the car? Literally one of the best things in the world. Especially when you and your friend know the same songs. Honestly I miss that so much and I can’t wait to do that again soon. The person that I was friends with that had my same taste in music doesn’t talk with me much anymore but we used to jam out in the car together all the time. Sorry this got personal you probably weren’t asking for that lol so I’ll go write now.
Somehow, Sam had found a car big enough for all of you. You, Tara, Katrina, Sam, Jake, Colby, and Corey were all together on a road trip. Sam and Kat has picked the place, so the rest of you were just along for the ride. Sam and Kat were in the front with Sam driving. Jake, Tara, and you were in the middle row, and Colby and Corey were in the back.
“So, can we get any hints to where we are going?” Tara asked, leaning closer to the front.
“Nope, no hints. It’s going to be a complete surprise,” Sam said. Tara shrugged and leaned back against Jake and he wrapped his arm around her.
“Guys! Let’s play a game!” Corey suggested.
So for a good while, you guys played the license plate game. Then you switched to twenty questions, and then you played rock, paper, scissors.
Eventually, all of you were tired of games, and it didn’t seem like you were even close to your destination. You sighed and leaned back against your seat. You couldn’t see it, but Corey got a devilish glint in his eyes and he proceeded to kick Jake’s seat.
“Dude, stop,” Jake ordered, highly annoyed.
“Stop what? That wasn’t me, that was Colby,” he said, smiling when Colby shot him a look.
“That wasn’t me,” Colby defended.
“I know it was you, Corey,” Jake accused him. Corey just kicked his seat again, and Jake’s eyes flashed in irritation.
“Stop!” he yelled again. Instead of stopping, Corey kicked his seat again. Jake turned around and he punched Corey’s arm, and Corey reached up and hit Jake.
The sounds of hits and slaps filled the car, and Sam looked back at them through the mirror.
“Hey!” he shouted. “Don’t make me turn this car around,” he threatened. You laughed and then suddenly, you heard it.
“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” you yelled, leaning forward a bit. “Kat, turn it up.”
She complied and your eyes locked with Tara as you heard the opening notes to the song. This began the performance of a lifetime. You were both singing at the top of your lungs, pulling out some epic dance moves. Tara mimed the guitar parts and you did your epic drum solo. You were both laughing as you sang along.
Colby saw you smiling and laughing and just being carefree, and he couldn’t help but smile. You just looked so... happy. It made his heart melt.
Suddenly, he felt an elbow in his side. He looked over and saw Corey with a huge grin on his face. His eyes kept flicking over to you before they went back to Colby. Colby shrugged his shoulders, trying to pretend he didn’t know what Corey was gesturing. So Corey made heart hands before he pointed at you and then at Colby. Colby looked back and forth before his eyes locked on Corey’s and me made a “shush” motion. Corey grinned before he turned around and went back to what he was doing.
Colby leaned back against the seat, tilting his head to look at the roof of the car. He couldn’t help it, he just felt something for you. He had known about it for a little while, but it was that moment. That smile that stole the air from his lungs and stilled his heart for a moment. Was this... love?
“Alright guys. We’re gonna stop for some gas. Everybody get out and stretch your legs. We’re a little less than halfway there,” he announced.
“Where are we going? The other side of the world? It’s been like, twelve hours,” Jake groaned. You laughed and adjusted in your seat.
Sam pulled into a gas station and everybody got out of the car. Corey grabbed Colby and dragged him to where you were.
“(Y/N),” Corey started in a sing-song voice.
“Yes?” you asked, stretching out your arms and looking surprised when something popped. You giggled for a second before you looked up at Colby. He was looking at you and there was a small smile on his face. Then, he snapped back to reality and shook his head out.
“Colby has feelings for you!” he shouted quickly. He then shoved Colby in your direction before he took of running in the other direction. He tripped and almost fell but he recovered and kept running.
“I’m going to kill you later!” Colby called after him. He slowly turned and had a sheepish look on his face.
“Is there any chance you didn’t hear that?” Colby asked, and you shook your head no. He sighed before he dropped his hands to his sides and he looked at you.
“Look, I didn’t want to make things awkward between us, but I think- no, I know- that I like you. And you don’t have to like me back, but I just- you were just smiling the biggest and prettiest smile I’d ever seen and then when you laughed I-“ he paused, thinking he had freaked you out. “It just confirmed what I already knew, and then Corey saw me and then he did this,” he explained, gesturing to the scene that was happening now. “But I like you, (Y/N), and yeah hope this doesn’t make things awkward with us.” He went to walk off but you gently grabbed his hand.
“That would be awkward, if I didn’t like you back,” he said. You saw his face light up as he turned to look back at you.
“Really,” you repeated. You got up on your toes and pressed a small kiss to his cheek.
“Then will you please sit with me now? Corey is being unbearable,” he said. You laughed and flashed him another smile.
“I would love to, but you have to ask Tara first. You know I promised to sit with her,” you reminded him.
Quickly, Colby ran over to where Tara was, almost falling over when he stopped.
“Tara, please, can (Y/N) sit next to me?” he asked, breathlessly.
And so, with a lot of convincing and a few deals, Colby convinced Tara to let you sit with him. So when you got in the car, you crawled to the back with Colby and Corey took your original spot. You reached over and held Colby’s hand, leaning back against the seat. It didn’t really matter where you were going anymore, because the best part of your trip already happened.
