prompt: "You can share my jacket with me, since you're shivering."

Two weeks later
If there was ever a moment in your life where you'd experienced a full-fledged I-need-to-throw-up-right-now moment, this was it.
You and Calum had finally decided to meet up at a comedy club about a 45-minute drive from where you lived – a lot of people were going to be there and if the meeting was awkward, at least you wouldn't have to talk to him the entire time, right?
You were nervous – understandably – but you were also weirdly excited. You obviously hadn't spoken to Maisie at all since she found out you told Calum what she did, but you and the man himself had grown closer. It was nice to speak to him as you and not as your cousin, and honestly, you didn't feel all that bad for having feelings for him anymore.
You stared down at your phone in anticipation – Calum had texted you that he was almost to the club about 5 minutes ago. You were standing outside the door waiting for him, anxiously watching for the three little dots that told you he was typing to let you know he was there.
But he didn't.
"Y/N?" you heard a voice say your name, causing your head to snap up.
Calum was just as good-looking in person as he was through the grainy pixels of your Skype calls and that smile made the butterflies in your stomach go crazy. It honestly made your heart stop for a moment before it started beating so hard against your chest, you were sure he'd be able to see it.
"C-Calum," you finally forced yourself to say, making him smile a little bigger.
"Hi," he greeted you, "You look stunning, as usual."
You could feel your face getting hot as you blushed, contrasting with how cold the rest of your body felt due to having stood outside for the last 15 minutes. He didn't acknowledge the blush though – he only grinned again.
"You ready to go in?" he asked, "You look absolutely freezing. How long have you been out here?"
"Not that long," you murmured, letting him put his hand on the middle of your back to lead you inside, "Just got tired of sitting in my car, I guess."
"Could've at least waited inside the lobby," he motioned to the room you were now in, "M'sure I would've found you eventually."
"Decided to go easy on you the first time around," you shrugged, "Next time, you won't be so lucky."
"But there will be a next time?" he smirked, making you roll your eyes fondly.
"If you're lucky," you told him.

While sitting in the seats, waiting for the comedy show to begin, you and Calum got to talking. You were amazed with how the conversation held up just as well in person as it did online – you were so used to talking to guys who had no idea how to carry on a conversation and this was such a nice change. You never brought up Maisie or how the two of you really met and neither did Calum – and you were okay with that.
You found yourself rubbing your arms through your sweater lightly, annoyed with yourself for not dressing a little warmer. And at some point, Calum must have noticed.
"You know, you can share my jacket with me since you're still shivering," Calum told you, "If you want to, I mean."
"How am I supposed to share with you?" you giggled lightly.
"Well-" He smiled again. "-if I take this arm out-" His left arm slid out of his jacket sleeve. "-and you put your arm in, then we can share."
"I still don't think we'll both fit, Cal," you grinned, but went along with him anyway.
You reached around your left shoulder with your right arm, grabbing the collar of the jacket. You slipped your left arm into the sleeve Calum's arm was previously in, squeaking when you accidentally pulled Calum closer to you in the process. You were about to apologize, but Calum surprised you by winding his arm around your waist within the jacket, pulling you even closer so he could grab the edges and zip the jacket up.
You couldn't keep yourself from laughing at how ridiculous the two of you must have looked, but Calum certainly succeeded in stopping your shivering.
"See?" he smiled victoriously, "Told you we'd both fit."
"At the cost of looking normal, sure," you snorted, leaning into his side.
"If you wanna look normal, you'd better rethink being seen with me," Calum responded, causing you to laugh softly. You looked up at him for a moment while he looked at you, but when he opened his mouth, you were already speaking.
"M'glad you don't totally hate me," you said softly, making him chuckle under his breath.
"We'll talk about that later," he teased, squeezing you gently.
