Around twenty minutes later, Evelyn opened the door to find a very tired looking Wilbur, dressed more casual than she had ever seen him.
"Do you want a hug?" Evelyn asked as she closed the door behind him. "please believe me when I say I won't be upset or anything if you say no—,"
Evelyn was abruptly cut off as he tightly pulled her against his chest, chin moving to rest on top of her hair. She didn't hesitate to wrap her arms around his middle and squeeze.
"I appreciate you more than you know," he whispered placing a brief kiss on her hairline. "Thank you."
She only hugged him tighter, waiting for him to step away first. After a few minutes, he finally did, though his hand found hers almost immediately.
"Come on," she nodded towards the kitchen. "i've got warm drinks in there and a fort mostly built but not finished because I wasn't sure if you wanted to add anything to it."
He smiled softly as she lead him towards their destination. "You weren't joking."
"Of course I wasn't. I take my fort building extremely serious, you know?"
"I did not know that."
Once they made it into the kitchen, Evelyn swiftly turned towards him, eyebrows raised. "Normal hot chocolate fine? I don't know what you fancy big shot singers drink, but us peasants just stick with the basics."
Wilbur fondly rolled his eyes at her, "normal is perfectly fine, thank you."
"Great! Good thing that's what I already made. Here you go," She offered him a pink mug with a smile. "Nice and hot cup of cocoa for the worlds greatest grandma. You should feel honored to have my favorite mug, by the way."
He eyes the mug suspiciously before glancing back up at her. "Worlds greatest grandma? Are you a grandma, Evelyn?"
"Are you a cop? Mind your business," she shot back, before grabbing his hand again and leading him towards what he guessed was the living room.
Wilbur didn't know what he was expecting. A few sheets draped over a couple of chairs maybe, but what was in front of him definitely had not crossed his mind at all. She had made the fort stretch across the entire living room, which, to be fair, wasn't huge. But it was a decent size and the fort was way larger than he thought it would be.
"this isn't completed?" he asked, making her sigh heavily.
"Okay, well technically the outside is. But the inside is a completely different story. I wasn't sure what to put in there exactly so I kind of just threw in a bunch of blankets and pillows and also my computer and all of Lolas snacks...don't tell her about that, please. I feel like i'm forgetting something....oh well. After you," she gestured towards the entrance, but he didn't move.
Instead, he took a sip of his drink and frowned. "You know, Evie. We're not little kids—,"
"Obviously. That's why our fort is so cool and all of the little kids forts are pathetic."
"I'm not exactly short, if you haven't noticed—,"
"You can just say you're intimidated by my fort building skills. It's okay, I promise this is a judgment free zone."
"I'm not intimidated."
"Just get in the damn fort, Wil."
With a huff, he awkwardly made his way into the fort, and was once again surprised by Evelyns work. He fully expected a nest of blankets thrown in there, but instead she had placed them all nicely under her nearly alarming amount of pillows.
He settled in on one side and watched as Evelyn awkwardly tried to crawl in with her steaming mug in one hand. Once she finally made it in, she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Thanks for watching me struggle."
"It was funny," he chuckled, earning him an eye roll.
"My computers right next to you if you wanna watch a movie or something...oh. I remembered what else I threw in here."
He blinked at her.
"It was a disco ball," she sheepishly admitted, taking a large drink of her steaming hot chocolate.
"A...disco ball?"
"Listen. It was sitting with my fort stuff when I grabbed everything else. Don't judge me."
Wilbur raised his hands in surrender, "not judging you. Just questioning your life choices."
"Ugh, whatever."
He opened his mouth to respond, but quickly shut it before nervously looking anywhere except at Evelyn.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I...would it be weird if I told you what was bothering me?"
She sent him a reassuring smile, "of course not. What's going on, Wil?"
"It's kind of stupid," he admitted, running a hand through his hair.
"You should probably know that i'm never going to think that anything you say is stupid unless it genuinely is. In this case, i'm one hundred percent certain it won't be, so if you want to talk, please do. I'll be here to listen, always."
Wilbur took a deep breath before he started rambling, "I dunno, it's just the goldhart thing, I guess. Last time I got shipped with one of my close friends she got all awkward around me and...I don't know. I might be overthinking but I don't want things to be weird between us because a bunch of strangers want us to be together, you know? It just stresses me out probably more than it should."
"Why don't you make a tweet or something saying you're uncomfortable being shipped romantically with me—,"
"That's not the part i'm uncomfortable with, Evie," he muttered, reaching for her hand again. "I just don't like feeling pressured into things, you know? And I especially don't like it when the other group of people who watch my content hate on any girl that I even talk to."
Evelyn briefly squeezed his hand before offering him a small smile, "I get it. We're both very private people and I understand your need for it to stay like that. They barely even know anything about me, actually. I've been on George's streams three times and i've gotten loads of hate from that alone. It doesn't bother me...honestly, i'm kind of flattered people take time out of their day just to hate on a stranger online. You should know, however, that said strangers opinions don't matter to me. They can literally think whatever they want about me and who I talk to and I won't care because at the end of the day we don't know each other. Unless they're talking shit, but other than that I don't mind. I'm only saying this so you know for a fact that things won't be weird between us, no matter what."
Wilbur grinned down at her, looking far more relaxed than he had the entire time he had been there. Wordlessly, he stuck his pinky finger out towards her.
Evelyn didn't hesitate to wrap her finger around his, a matching smile on her face.
"Now, about that movie..."
