𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫. tommy and tubbo left the arcade all together after spending about 45 minutes there, avoiding blair with all costs.
why you might ask? tubbo was wondering the same thing. as they walked to wilburs office with wilburs keys, he asked the same question
"so why are we avoiding blair?"
"because we are" tommy responded
"but why?" tubbo replied
"because tubbo we just fucking are. stop patronizing me" he replied aggressively
"tommy i dont think you know what that word mea-" tubbo began only to have tommy cut him off
"shut the fuck up yes i do" he yelled fighting off a smile. if he was being honest, he didn't know why he wanted to avoid blair. she didn't do anything wrong, if anything after last night he thought he would want to be around her.
but he didn't. for some reason he just couldn't be around her. something was stopping him.
"look man i know you dont think you guys could work out but i think you could! plus plus we could all maybe move into together after college" tubbo spoke in a cheerful voice, as he usually did
"maybe tubso. lets change the subject"
meanwhile blair was with niki, kristin and phil. fundy and wilbur were off playing some other game. blair had no idea tommy had left, she assumed he was with tubbo somewhere. it was a decent sized arcade so she wasn't surprised they hadn't met up yet, so she didn't let it bother her.
they were playing air hockey and blair stood on one side while phil stood on the other with kristen and niki standing next to each other watching.
blair had obliterated phil, she only needed on point to win while phil
"come on!" phil said throwing his hands up as blair hit the puck into his goal scoring her winning point
"lets go!" blair yelled as she threw her hands up as niki hugged her
"yes good job blair!" niki said
"its okay phil, you still can beat will and i if it makes you feel any better" kristin said putting a hand on her husbands shoulder
"whatever, lets go get some pop" he said shaking his head. kristin laughed and shook her head in agreement
"we'll be back, stay together" she said pointing her finger at the two girls
"okay momza" blair laughed.
"you beat him so easily! it was almost sad to watch" niki told her
"my dad used to take clara and i to the arcade in the mall close to my house every other weekend for like two years and air hokey was my favorite game" blair told her
"wow that makes a lot of sense" niki nodded her head laughing
"excuse me?" a voice said to her right. blair looked and saw a boy with brown hair looking at her
"hi" she said with a slightly confused look
"i uh i saw you playing and i was wondering if you wanted to play?" he said pointing to the air hokey game
"uh yeah sure why not" blair said looking at niki who nodded. he nodded and walked over to pay for the game. they began to play and instead of beating him like she had with phil, he was holding his own.
so for the next fifteen minutes they had casual banter back and forth.
he told her his name has james, and he lived not far from here. he had been here with his friend and his friends girlfriend but he was third wheeling so decided to leave them alone and go off on his own.
it was only after another ten minutes did someone finally win. james had won, they were tied for most of the game as they made their way up with points.
in blair's defense, the only reason he won was because wilbur yelled at her
"wilbur what is so important that you made me lose" she asked him annoyed
"someone finally beat you? lets go! good on you man" phil said high fiving james
"hey thanks! you're philza minecraft right?" james asked
"yes i am" phil replied
"thats so cool! can i get a picture?" he asked. phil nodded and they took a quick picture while wilbur spoke again
"look tommy broke into my office and went live so i need to go stop him from getting me kicked out so fundy and i will be back" wilbur told them
"wait tommy's where?" blair asked shocked
"he and tubbo broke into my office, somehow they got my keys, and went live from my set up" wilbur said in more detail
"and they didn't bring me?" blair asked
"i guess, we'll be back" wilbur shrugged.
"okay bye see you guys in a bit" niki said waving as they walked away
"those fucking dicks" blair grumbled going on her phone to look at the stream. she watched as tommy unboxed his vlog gun.
"wills going to kill him" phil laughed
almost an hour later it was late afternoon and everyone had gotten bored of the arcade and walked back to the. james was still them when tommy, tubbo, fundy and wilbur arrived.
they were sat on some picnic tables. blair and james were sat close on the table as phil sat in the sand and the girls sat on either side of the bench
"you didnt kill them fuck" blair grumbled handing phil a five dollar bill
"you bet on wether or not i would kill them?" wilbur laughed
"in our defense, it was funny" phil replied
"thats very true" james said
"who are you?" tommy asked looking at the brunette. who was he and why was he sitting so close to blair? he thought
"im james?" he replied confused
"why are you here?" tommy asked still eyeing how close he was to blair
"what does it matter?" blair asked looking at him. why did he care? he was the one who left without saying a word to anyone.
"it doesn't" tommy said aggressively. an awkward silence took over the group for a second as james stood up
"i should actually go, but it was great meeting you guys, text me later yeah blair?" he said. blair nodded and he walked away.
"he gave you his number?" niki asked in shock."when?"
"when we were walking here" she replied simply with a shrug
"well we made some reservations for a dinner at this nice restaurant, not too fancy dont worry so why dont we all go get ready and meet in an hour and a half?" wilbur suggested. everyone agreed and split their separate ways. phil, kristin, fundy and niki all had gotten hotel rooms so wilbur and the three teens walked back to wilburs flat.
