"Goodnight." I return his smile and drag my feet as I make my way into my room, changing and getting un-ready as fast as possible. Before I even knew it, I was passed out with vague dreams of a certain someone running through my mind.

 The next morning, or afternoon I guess, I woke up around 1 to a completely silent house. It wasn't too surprising, considering that everyone had gotten back from the party sometime in the early morning. I put myself together a little bit before slowly making my way downstairs to see that, just as I had suspected, there were no signs of life on the main floor. Listening to the grumble of my stomach, and my general boredom already, I decided to make something for 'breakfast' to get the boys up and running for the rest of the day.

Considering that we were renting an air bnb, there really wasn't any food in the cabinets or the fridge, aside from some basics that the boys had bought in preparation for the week. After searching through each and every cabinet, I decide on making pancakes, considering that there seems to be enough ingredients and that they're simple enough. I get to work in the kitchen and start to make the pancake batter based on loose measurements and the first recipe that came up when I googled pancakes. I managed to find a big enough pan, and got to work pretty quickly. My pancake making skills are pretty rusty, but eventually I hear some of the boys stirring around the house thanks to the wonderful smell of the pancakes, or maybe the really loud music that I happened to be playing, who knows.

The first one to show his face was Josh, who peaked his head out from the basement doorway, where he was presumably sleeping earlier and greeted me with a big smile.

"Morning Josh," I turn around briefly to give him a smile before returning my attention to the borderline burnt pancake in front of me.

"Morning Y/N, what are you making?" He asks me, joining me by the stovetop to see what I was up to.

"Making pancakes." I tell him simply, flopping the most recently cooked one onto a plate. He grabs one of the cooler ones and shoves it into his mouth before going to sit on the couch.

"I think that waffles are superior, but it's whatever." He informed me through a mouthful of pancake as he looked down at his phone. The two of us continued to talk about our breakfast food preferences for another hour or so before Carson and Schlatt stumbled down the stairs and into the kitchen, both of them dragging their feet. I keep my eyes on Schlatt as he makes his way over to me, giving him a little smile. A part of my mind wanted me to run as far away as possible after thinking about how potentially embarrassing last night had been, especially considering that I was drunk for the first half of our little adventure. Both he and Carson make their way into the kitchen and crowd me by the stove, each of them grabbing some of the pancakes that were already done. Carson joined Josh on the couch while Schlatt chose to lean against the counter next to me.

"Goodmorning." He says in a somewhat quiet voice, not really wanting to draw Josh or Carson's attention over to us. I look up to meet his eyes as I clumsily flop a pancake onto the plate next to the stove.

"Morning." I say back, feeling a little embarrassed under his rather intense gaze. We stay silent for a few more minutes before Schlatt eventually finishes his pancake and turns to face me, still watching me awkwardly flip pancakes around.

"How did you sleep?" He asks eventually, drawing me out of some sort of trance I didn't even notice I was in.

"Pretty well, I'm not even hungover." I tell him with a little smile, "How about you?"

"Pretty good too, and then Carson came home and woke me up when he stubbed his toe." He tells me, throwing his head back to laugh a little and grin at the last part. From somewhere on the couch, Carson says something along the lines of 'shut up' which makes Schlatt laugh a little harder. We chat quietly for a little bit longer until all the pancakes are done and the two of us decide to sit outside. I send a quick text to the group chat to let anyone who was awake know that pancakes were ready for whoever got to them first.

Me: pancakes in da kitchen. First come first served

Ted: oou thank you ma'am

Travis: <3

Schlatt and I make out way outside and sit at a table on the patio as we both chow down on a few more pancakes. Never in my life have I felt more self conscious of the way that I eat pancakes than in this moment. We just kind of vibe for a little bit before Schlatt clears his throat and gets my attention.

"So, I uh," He struggles a bit to get his first few words out, "I-I really uh had fun last night." He tells me with a smile, taking his hat off to run his hands through his hair nervously. I give him a smile in hopes to settle his nerves a little bit.

"I did too!" I tell him, giving him a knowing look and a brief wink, making both of us laugh a little bit. I notice a bit of a blush on Schlatt's cheeks and my heart starts beating faster. There's a little bit of an awkward silence before he speaks again.

"I don't really know how to say this, " He starts, looking into my eyes warmly, "but I want to do that again. Or something like that," he starts to ramble a bit, "well, I just want to spend more time with you I guess." His face is cherry red and I can't help but beam at him.

"I would really like that, Schlatt." He lets out a breath and smiles back at me, "We still have a while until we go back home, so we'll have plenty of time to hang out." I remind him. Just as I finish my sentence, Cooper and Noah stick their heads out of the door and greet us.

"Hey guys!" Noah starts, "We were thinking about maybe just chilling by the pool for the rest of the day, if you guys want to join us." He tells us casually, pushing his sunglasses over his eyes. Beside him, Cooper gives us each a wave and does the same, clearly still a little hungover from the night before.

"Sounds good, I know I'll join you." I say with a little laugh as I stand up. The boys walk past us and into the yard. I turn my attention back to Schlatt and lean down to quickly kiss his forehead, catching him by surprise. He gives me a lopsided grin as he stands up as well and we go back inside to clean up before getting ready for the rest of the day.
