the party had been perfect—chill, warm, easy. exactly the kind of night you loved. you’d had a few drinks, but not enough to be anything other than comfortably buzzed, and neither had tucker. he’d kept his arm around you for most of the night, his fingers lazily playing with your hair while he talked to his friends about songwriting. you’d chimed in when you could, but music wasn’t your world the way it was his. still, it didn’t matter—he kept you close, kept you involved, and you felt more at home here than you ever would’ve expected.
your phone buzzed in your hand.
you glanced up to find tucker already looking at you, his lip caught between his teeth like he was trying not to smile.
you smirked, typing back.
as soon as the message sent, he moved his hand in front of you, palm up, waiting. you placed yours in his, and without another word, he led you out of the apartment.
you climbed the emergency stairs together, the music fading behind you as the air grew colder. the moment you pushed open the door to the roof, the chill hit you like a wave.
"shit," you muttered, pulling your jacket tighter around you.
“it’s so fucking cold,” tucker laughed, rubbing his hands together.
you both sat side by side on the concrete ledge, close enough that your knees touched. he reached for your hand again, fingers tracing absent circles over your rings.
“the strawberry vodka you made me was so good,” you said, breaking the quiet.
he glanced at you, grinning. “yeah? can i try it?”
you frowned playfully. “i left it downstairs.”
his smile turned mischievous. “i know a way you can still show me how it tastes.”
your stomach flipped. “yeah?”
and then he was leaning in, kissing you softly.
it was deeper than the one outside your apartment, slower, more deliberate. your fingers found his jaw, his hand moved to your waist, and he pressed himself closer, tilting his head just enough to make you melt.
when you pulled away, both of you were smiling.
“i don’t think i got the taste right,” he murmured, his breath warm against your lips. “can i try again?”
you laughed, kissing him again, this time even softer.
when he pulled back, he didn’t move far—his forehead rested against yours, his thumb brushing over your knuckles.
“i really like you, sofia,” he said, voice quieter now. “like, really fucking like you. and i don’t just mean the way you look, or the way you kiss me, or the fact that you bake ridiculously good food.” he smiled, but his eyes were serious. “i like the way you talk about your job, even when you pretend you don’t love it as much as you do. i like the way you make me laugh when you’re not even trying, or how you always check on me, even over dumb things. i like that you don’t care that i’m just some guy who sings about heartbreak, and that you fit so fucking well into my life like you were supposed to be here the whole time. and i know we’ve only known each other for a few months, but i don’t really care, because i know what i want.”
he exhaled, eyes searching yours.
“i want you to let me be your boyfriend.”
you stared at him, heart pounding so fast it made you dizzy.
for a second, all you could do was take him in—his flushed cheeks from the cold, the way his hair curled slightly under his leather jacket, the way he was holding onto your hands like you might slip away if he didn’t.
you bit your lip, shaking your head in disbelief before laughing softly. “thank god that refrigerator was too heavy to lift.”
tucker laughed too, squeezing your hands. “is that a yes?”
you took a deep breath, feeling a warmth spread through you that had nothing to do with the rooftop chill.
“yes,” you said, voice a little shaky but certain. “yes, i want that. i really, really like you too, tucker.”
his whole face lit up, but before he could say anything, you kept going, because he deserved to know.
“i don’t think you understand how much i love being around you,” you admitted, your fingers tightening around his. “i could be having the worst day at work, but the second i see you waiting outside for me, it’s like everything just—disappears. you make everything feel lighter, easier, and you don’t even try. you just do. and it’s not just because i think you’re insanely attractive, or because you make me laugh more than anyone else—though those things definitely help.”
he grinned at that, but he was listening intently.
“but it’s more than that,” you continued. “you’re a really, really good person, tucker. you care so much about the people around you, even if you pretend you don’t sometimes. you make everyone feel welcome, seen, important. i admire you so much, for the way you chase after the things you love and never do anything halfway. i feel so lucky that i met you. and yeah, maybe it hasn’t been that long, but i don’t really care either.” you swallowed. “because i know what i want too.”
tucker didn’t wait another second.
he kissed you again, harder this time, like he’d been holding back and finally let himself go. his hands cupped your face, thumbs brushing over your cheekbones as he pulled you closer. you melted into him, smiling against his lips, because this—this felt right.
when he finally pulled away, he pressed one last lingering kiss to the corner of your mouth, then rested his forehead against yours again.
“you’re really stuck with me now,” he murmured.
you laughed, threading your fingers through his. “yeah, i think i can handle that.”
his fingers traced slow, lazy patterns over your hand like he was trying to memorize the feeling of your skin.
eventually, tucker exhaled, smiling. “we should probably go back before people start thinking we climbed up here to escape them.”
you laughed, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. “or they’ll just assume we’re making out.”
“i mean, they wouldn’t be wrong.”
you rolled your eyes playfully, and he grinned, standing up before offering you his hand. you took it without hesitation, letting him help you up, and together, you made your way back down to the party.
inside, things were winding down. most of the guests had left, and the few who remained were sprawled out on the couch, engaged in half-asleep conversations. the music was lower now, more of a background hum, and the whole apartment had that post-party haze—empty cups on tables, jackets forgotten over chairs, the faint lingering scent of drinks and laughter.
tucker stayed close to you, his hand either on your lower back or holding yours, as you helped him clear a few things from the counter.
“so,” you said, nudging him playfully, “do i get girlfriend privileges now?”
he raised an eyebrow, smirking. “what exactly does that include?”
“hmm.” you pretended to think. “well, for starters, i get to steal your hoodies whenever i want.”
he let out a dramatic sigh. “dangerous territory, but you already do”
“oh, and i get to be your plus one at everything.”
“and you have to let me do your skincare routine.”
he groaned, leaning his head back. “okay, now you’re pushing it.”
you giggled, tugging on his arm. “no, seriously, you always complain about your skin breaking out, and i can fix it. just trust me.”
“fine, fine,” he grumbled, though you could see the way he was fighting a smile.
when the last of the guests finally left, tucker ran a hand through his hair, looking around at his apartment.
“this place is a fucking mess,” he muttered.
you glanced around, nodding. “yep. which is why you should sleep at my place.”
he looked at you, surprised. “yeah?”
you shrugged, trying to act casual even though your heart was racing a little. “yeah. it’s clean, and i have extra blankets. plus, i kind of don’t want to say goodnight yet.”
a slow smile spread across his face. “yeah, okay. let me grab some stuff.”
he disappeared into his room, and a few minutes later, he reemerged with a small bag slung over his shoulder. together, you made your way upstairs to your apartment.
inside, everything felt calm, warm. the contrast between the chaos downstairs and the quiet of your space made you exhale in relief.
“make yourself at home,” you said, slipping off your shoes.
you both changed into pajamas—tucker borrowed a t-shirt and sweats from his bag, while you slipped into your favorite comfy set. when you came out of the bathroom, he was sitting on the edge of your bed, scrolling through his phone.
he looked up, grinning. “you look cute.”
you rolled your eyes. “flattery won’t save you from your skincare routine.”
he let you drag him into the bathroom, where you made him stand still as you tiptoed applying cleanser, moisturizer, and a serum, explaining each step while he grumbled half-heartedly.
“i feel like a glazed donut,” he muttered as you finished.
“good,” you said, tapping his nose. “that’s the goal.”
finally, you both crawled into bed, the room dimly lit by the streetlights outside. tucker pulled you into his arms without hesitation, one arm draped over your waist, his fingers resting on the small of your back.
you nodded, your head tucked against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart.
for a moment, neither of you spoke. then, quietly, you said, “i really like this.”
he pressed a kiss to your forehead. “me too.”
you smiled against his shirt, feeling warm, safe, and happier than you had in a long time.
and just like that, you drifted off to sleep in his arms, knowing that this—whatever it was—was just the beginning.
