The bass was already thumping through the floor as the group stumbled into the private room of the beachside club Tom had definitely bribed someone to rent out last minute. Lexi's ring sparkled with every LED strobe that hit it. Nikki had already gotten misty-eyed four times, and Dom was mysteriously winning every dance battle — much to Harry's dismay.
"Do you think about the days when we sat down. Smoking, Wine and drinking haze?-"
The intro to The Days dropped and everyone went feral.
"THIS IS OUR SONG!" Paddy screamed, arms flailing as he ran to the middle of the dance floor like it was his wedding too.
Lexi was hoisted onto someone's shoulders — she didn't even know whose — but she didn't care. She had a ring on her finger, Bennie and the Jets stuck in her head, and Tom Holland's hand wrapped tightly around her ankle, steadying her like he always did.
Haz and Sam were throwing themselves into some outrageous choreography, clearly five tequila shots in, while Harry attempted to lip-sync the chorus with a straw in his mouth like a mic.
Tom reached up for Lexi, pulling her down into his arms as they spun together, surrounded by friends, sweat, smoke, and joy.
"I can't believe you did all this," she yelled over the music.
Tom grinned. "I'm not done yet."
Lexi squinted at him. "What's that supposed to mean?"
But he was already pulling out a glow stick crown from behind his back and placing it gently on her head.
"Queen of my days," he said, pressing a kiss to her nose.
She burst out laughing. "You're such a dweeb."
"You said yes, dweeb or not."
They kissed as the beat dropped, the crowd jumping around them, their friends drunkenly yelling lyrics into each other's faces.
"Was it the other way? Was it the other way?"
Sam was dragging Harry into a conga line.
Haz had Paddy on his back, yelling, "TO THE BAR!"
Lexi and Tom just... stood still in the middle of it all. Breathing. Laughing.
"I wish we could bottle this," Lexi said, arms wrapped around his neck.
"We are," Tom replied, tapping her ring with his finger. "Forever."
