Me and Wilbur ended up staying in that hug for at least 5 minutes whilst he calmed me down. "I'm sorry, I don't wanna ruin the day." I pulled away from the hug, wiping my eyes with the palm of my hand.
"Don't apologise, you haven't ruined anything." Wilbur smiled gently at me, giving me a reassuring look. I smiled back as he quickly jumped from his seat.
"How about this, we walk to the corner shop not far from here to get some snacks, then we find a random show on Netflix to binge watch for the next like- I don't know, two hours?" He spoke, as a rush of energy went rushing into him.
"Why only two hours?" I laughed, standing up myself as Wilbur began tying his shoe laces already.
"I mean, I don't know, just- yeah, I don't know" Wilbur laughed running out the door, me walking normally behind him.
"Actually, no! I have a better idea!" He turned on his heels to face me again as I just laughed at him. "We get snacks and have a picnic in the field not far from here!" His face lit up with excitement.
"I don't think you understand how much I love picnics Wilbur!" I gained a load of energy as I thought through Wilburs new idea.
"In that case, we're having a picnic!" Wilbur began making his way back to his apartment door causing me to give him a confused look.
"Where are you going!?" I shouted down the hallway as I chuckled at his excited run.
"To get a blanket! What's a picnic without a blanket Mackenzie!?" He shouted back as he unlocked his door running through it, his arm being the last thing I saw as he waved at me like a child.
"You've got a point there mr musician!" I began making my own way towards his apartment but didn't even get half way there before he came running past me, a folded picnic blanket being waved around in his hand and a light guitar in the other.
I shook my head following behind him as he ran down the hall, a picnic blanket and guitar in each of his hands. This was going to be fun I thought with a gentle chuckle.
"You planning on giving me a concert Wilbur?" I pointed at his guitar as I caught up with him outside of the apartment building.
"Maybe, maybe not? I'll see how I feel." He laughed as we made our way to a nearby shop so we could get foods for our picnic.
"Do you want me to hold the blanket? You know, so you have a free hand?" I offered as he realised both of his hands were occupied with a different object.
"If you don't mind." He chuckled, smiling down at me as we approached the shop he had mentioned not too long ago whilst we were still in
his apartment.
"No of course not!" I smiled back, taking the blanket from his left hand so that he actually had a hand free to use in the shop.
Eventually we finished getting food and we're already at the field which was bigger than I had expected it to be.
"This is a big field, do you come here often?" I asked him as I set the blanket down for us both to sit down on. I already felt more peaceful than I was a few hours ago.
"Not really, I've been in London for a while now but have only been to this field once with a few of my friends" he answered my question, taking a seat on the blanket and beginning to unpack food from one of the two filled bags we had bought.
As if on cue both mine and Wilburs phone lit up with a notification causing us both to look a bit frightened but amused.
New message: Trio💛⚡️-Madison
"Oh great." Wilbur sighed laughing slightly as he checked the notification on his phone.
"Is everything alright?" I chuckled slightly at his reaction as he just nodded, still laughing a bit.
"Yeah it's just one of my friends, he acts more like a little brother with me, that has its positives and negatives." He explained as I just smiled at his reaction to his 'little brothers' notification.
"Ahh, I don't have little siblings but I know a lot of people who do so I guess I can imagine?" I thought to myself but just shook of the topic.
"Yeah, I think you two would get along, he is loud though." Wilbur explained. I would like to get to know more people but then again I don't want to invade Wilburs personal life by meeting all of his friends.
I just smiled in reply when his phone started ringing. " Oh great, a FaceTime call, do you mind?" Wilbur looked at me for assurance that he could answer the call.
"Yeah, yeah of course, I don't mind." I picked up my phone deciding to check my Snapchat whilst I waited for Wilbur to finish his call.
"Hey Tommy" I heard him speak with a slight sigh and chuckle. However I did hear more than one voice from the phone.
"MY BIG BRO WILBUR!" I heard the first voice speak. It didn't take much to realise that he was the one that had texted Wilbur. Wilbur described him perfectly.
"Leave Wilbur alone, will you!?" Someone else laughed but it was more faint, I assumed he wasn't as close to the phone.
"Where are you, king!?" The first, louder voice spoke again. That's when I saw Wilburs eyes shoot to me from the corner of my eye.
I looked back at him as he looked terrified causing me to try not to laugh as his look turned to anger due to me not helping him out.
"Urmm... out?" Wilbur tried to give him a slight, simple answer but his friend wasn't having it.
"Well no shit... where?" He spoke as I was trying so hard not to burst into a fit of laughter right there and then.
"Why do you want to know?" Wilbur was not good at hiding a lie. He was very clearly acting suspicious which just made me want to laugh even more.
" I'm bored and was gonna see if I could join you?" The voice came from the phone again as Wilbur practically choked on air. With that I couldn't hold it in, I burst into a fit of almost silent laughter as Wilbur just rolled his eyes.
Luckily his friend didn't hear me. "Give me a second Tommy." Wilbur spoke as he muted and put his phone so it was facing the sky.
"What do you say?" Wilbur looked at me a look of panic and dread in his eyes. I just laughed at him even more.
"To meeting your 'little brother'? Oh, I can't wait!" I smirked as Wilbur groaned already knowing he made a mistake asking me in the first place.
"I'm only letting him come for you. Remember that, Kenzie." I smiled as it was the first time he had actually used 'Kenzie' instead of my full name.
"I shall mr-" I paused, waiting for him to tell me his last name.
"Soot, if you're wanting my last name." He laughed shaking his head at me, understanding why I had paused.
"I shall Mr Soot." I nodded my head in a jokingly formal manor before Wilbur picked up his phone again and unmuted himself.
"Ok Tommy, I'm at the field we went to with George last time you recorded a vlog, but you have to promise me if you come you can't freak out over ANYTHING!?" Wilbur explained referring to me.
"Ok?" The voice I guessed matched with the name 'Tommy' spoke. "I'm on my way! Bye Will!" Was the last thing I heard before the voice hung up the call.
