Chapter 12 | The Talk

Enough is enough. I think it's time to have the talk. We don't even need to establish anything crazy, I just feel like it's a talk that's needed. I took all of Saturday researching soulmates and mulling over what I wanted to say.

Y/n: everyone free today?

Nick: larry and I are vlogging

Larry: what he said

Nick: why what's up?

Yumi: ^

Yumi: I have a recording session later tn

Tanner: I'm free bb 😼

Tanner: unlike these goobs

Yumi: stfu tanner

Grunk: class

Yumi: I don't think she was talking to u anyways idiot

Grunk: :(

Tanner: don't listen to him grunky poo he's cranky

Yumi: dude I hate you

Y/n: I just thought we should have a talk soon

This seems to shift the conversation to a bit more serious.

Yumi: is everything okay?

Nick: a talk about what?

Y/n: just like soulmate stuff

Nick: oh okay

Nick: u wanna swing by the house? Larry and I will be home soon

Y/n: sounds good

Y/n: you think I could get the address again?

Nick sends me the address and after a pep talk to myself, I make my way over to their shared house. Once I pull into the driveway, I take a second to take a few deep breaths and collect my thoughts. I knock on the door, it opens almost immediately and I'm pulled into a strong embrace.

"Y/n, is everything okay? What do we need to talk about?" I hear Blake's voice above, his arms squeezing me tight.

I push off his chest to see his worried face, "everything's okay Blake, I just want to have a talk on where I stand and see how everyone else feels about everything." I hope my smile reassures him.

He seems to visibly relax and smiles back at me, "okay, sounds good."

Blake is then pushed out of the way, "N/N!!!" Tanner yells and pulls me into a hug.

I laugh and hug him back, "hi, Tanner."

He gives a quick peck to my cheek, "missed ya!"

Blake and I are both shocked with wide expressions, but I recover first, "I missed you too, Tanner."

Tanner loops our arms, and pulls me inside, ditching Yumi to still pick up his jaw and close the door. Tanner brings me to the couch, where there's an anime I don't recognize playing on the tv. Our arms are still looped, so when Tanner sits down, I'm also forced to sit down next to him, but I don't mind at all. Tanner starts to tell me about the anime on the screen, while Blake sits on the other side of me and takes my other arm and plays with my hand.

Not long after, Nick and Larry both arrive. "Are we all here? Where's Isaac?" I ask.

"He should be here? I'll check his room," Nick is about to walk off, but Blake cuts him off.

"I'm pretty sure he went to the gym a little bit ago."

"So, he'll be there for a bit," Nick sighs.

"We can fill that bozo in later about this," Larry flops on the couch next to Tanner.
