"Chill Kaulitz. Bill and i are going to prepare the snacks." I said, patting Toms head.

He smiled at me, following up with a nod.

He looked at Bill in a assuring way and walked off with Georg and Gustav, greeting them.

"Tom! Dieser Idiot glaubt, er kann ein Brettspiel betrügen!" I heard Gustav say in the background. (Tom! This idiot thinks he can cheat on a board game!)

"Es ist ein verdammtes Monopol, du sensibles Arschloch!" I heard Georg respond back. (It's fucking monopoly, you sensitive asshole!")

"Don't worry, they joke around like that." Bill says, nudging me.

"I know." I said with a giggle. "Tom does the same with me." I said with a smile, looking back at them. "But rather..more gentle?" I giggled, seeing them pillow fighting.

"You know, its a miracle my brother is starting to soften out." Bill said, taking a few treats from their pantry and placing it on the counter in front of us.

"He never would've done that with the other girls, this is the first time." He said, opening the fridge.

I was confused, "Wait, first time of what Bill?" I asked him as he handed me a few snacks and board games to carry myself.

"First time he's shown to care for a girl for more than a night." Bill said shrugging with laughter.

I didn't know how to react but i was happy, although.. i just smiled.

"Quit the chit chat." Bill said placing the snack tray onto the table where the boys were gathered up.

"We need to decide on a movie to watch." Bill says.

I sat quietly besides Tom, his arm around my shoulder.

"Narnia?" Gustav suggested. "Here you are again with your fairytales." Georg said.

"I don't mind watching Narnia." I shrugged. Bill looked at Tom to see what he thought. "Anything she says." Tom pointed to me, saying he'd agree with whatever i wanted.

"Well, we should look for more options shouldn't we?" Bill said.

"Yeah anything but Gustavs fantasy tales!" Georg said laughing out, making Tom and Gustav laugh back.

In the end, we chose to go for something horror.

As we were watching the movie, staying focused. I would notice Tom tapping his fingers onto the couch, and sometimes squeezing it.

I tried to kept the giggles to myself but when i realized he was scared i couldn't help but let out a slight laugh.

After noticing, i put my hand on his and put in on my lap. Giving it a slight squeeze like he would usually do with me. I focused on the movie shortly after.

I noticed he calmed down after i held his hand, and i would feel his eyes on me from here and there, i always couldn't help but blush.

Finally, the movie finished and Georg was crying from the death of the main star.

"And you make fun of me for my fairytales." Gustav spoke, mocking Georg in a teasing voice.

"Shut up.." Georg said as they both sat down.

"Alright, truth or dare!" Bill said placing a bottle in the middle of the table.

"Seriously? You couldn't think of anything else?"  Tom said. "And you can?" Bill said, mocking him. Making me laugh.

"Fae, here." Bill handed me the bottle. "Ladies first!" He shrugged.

I nodded and spun, the bottle landing on of course.. Tom.

"Truth or Dare?" I asked him joyfully. "Come on Fae.. she's going to ask me to mop the ocean if i chose dare." Tom said, making us all grow laughter.

"Come on! Hurry up!" Gustav yelled out.

"Fine, truth." He said, waiting.

"Oh come on thats boring!" Georg said. "Fine fine since you're all dying to see me suffer! Dare." Tom spoke.

"Let me think.." i said.

Out of the blue, Bill suddenly got up and whispered a question into my ear. I smiled at Bill and nodded.

"Confess something embarrassing you've done!" I spoke.

"Oh come on Bill?!" Tom said, making Georg laugh even more.

"Oh come on Tom!" Bill said, mocking his twin brother.

"Fine.." Tom whispered softly. "I once mistook Georg for a girl when i was drunk." Tom said, making us all burst out in laughter.

"And..? What happened?!" I asked impatiently.

"Holy shit i remember that!" Georg laughed out harder. "He started flirting with me after!" Georg added, making the room filled with giggles.

Tom was smirking, seemed to be out of embarrassment. But everyone knew and thought it was extremely funny.

Almost 10 PM now, the group decided for us to have a few more rounds of Truth or Dare together.

The bottle landed on me. Tom being the one to have spun it in the first place.

"Truth or Dare Fae?" He asked me.

I took a sigh. "Truth." I responded.

"Have you ever fallen inlove?" He asked me, causing a shockwave sent all over my body and brain.

"Well, I've had a first love. But I've never had an actual experience of being loved before. Not yet at-least." I said.

"Go on.." Bill said.

"So technically no, i haven't but i guess I'm.." i looked at Tom. "I'm starting to experience falling for somebody now." I said, smiling.

What i said made everyone cheer, meanwhile Tom sat still, blushing and his grin only growing wider by the minute.

We ended the night, but i couldn't sleep.
