Chapter Text
Coy sat on the couch of the Goffice, squeezed between Will and Hanbon.
He felt a bit anxious, his birthday was tomorrow and no one had said anything yet. Had they forgotten?
Anthony abruptly started his presentation, cutting of any train of thought Coy had. “So, we’ve done a scavenger hunt while handcuffed together,” he paced back and forth, “but what if we did a scavenger hunt… not handcuffed together?”
“Anthony, I love you, but that idea sucks.” Coy cringes internally at the fact he just said I love you to him, even if it was a joke.
“Hey!” He pouts, “You didn’t let me finish my idea!”
“Yeah Coy you should let him finish!” Hanbon wraps her arms around him, completely removing any degree of separation they had before.
“Get off me!” Coy laughs as he pushes Hanbon off of him.
She dramatically rolls off the couch and screeches.
“Anyways,” Anthony immediately goes back to his presentation, “scavenger hunt around New York, but you’re all on your own and you each have different clues to ultimately reach the same place. First one to get there gets a special prize!”
Will and Hanbon both start to cheer and hype up his idea, while Coy is just confused.
“Wha- Guys! We already did a scavenger hunt, our viewers will not be impressed!” He argued.
“It’s three to one, bro,” Will said with a shrug, “You’re outnumbered.”
Coy sighed, feeling defeated.
“Ok, I guess.” He said before walking to his room.
—————————-
“He seems so sad! This was a terrible idea Anthony.” Hanbon said, glancing in the direction of Coy’s bedroom.
“It’ll be okay! The surprise I have planned is going to completely make up for it.” Anthony says with a grin.
“What is the surprise anyway?” Will asks.
“You’ll see.” Anthony says menacingly.
Hanbon and Will glance at each other suspiciously before turning their attention back to Anthony.
—————————
“Ok so Anthony just gave us all our first clues and…” Coy trails off before holding up a printed out photo of The Charging Bull statue, “This is literally right next to The Fearless Girl so I guess I’m just being sent to the same places as last time. Kinda feel like he’s doing this just to piss me off.”
All the flowers were blossoming and the leaves were a beautiful bright green. Spring was Coy’s favorite time of the year, he loved the rain showers and seeing everything in bloom.
Before he knew it he was at the train station.
—————————
He found the next clue, which was pierced onto the bull’s horn.
Then the next,
And the next,
Until, he found an envelope saying, “To Coy” and, “Do not open”
“What the-“ He muttered.
Why did it say Coy? Did Anthony plan this? He thought. Coy pulled out his phone.

Coy came back to the house feeling a bit nervous, what does Anthony have planned?
He slowly pushed open the door. He stepped inside and got bombarded by voices.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Will, Hanbon, and Anthony said in unison. They were holding a small cake with rainbow sprinkles, and wearing party hats.
“Look, it’s rainbow, cause you’re gay!” Will said.
Coy felt like he could cry, “Wow, guys you really didn’t have to do this,” He ran over to them and gave them a hug,
“Aww of course we did!” Hanbon said, “Don’t cry!” But the tears spilled down Coy's face anyway. She hugged him while Will took pictures.
“Ok, well the cake isn’t going to eat itself.” Anthony said, handing everyone a fork. They each took a forkful of cake and clashed them together trying to cheers each other, but Will’s cake fell onto the table they were sitting around.
“Wait, guys my birthday is tomorrow, why’d you do this today?” Coy asked.
“Well, because you have a flight tomorrow.” Anthony said casually. Will and Hanbon glanced at each other before looking at Coy and shrugging.
“What do you mean?” Coy said, growing more confused by the second.
“Open the envelope.” Anthony said. Coy rummaged through his bag and pulled out the envelope from earlier. His eyes widened as he wondered what could be inside of it.
“Are these plane tickets?!” Coy exclaimed. Anthony just shrugged and told him to open the envelope.
Coy shakily slid his finger under the flap of the envelope, slicing it open. Inside there was a folded up piece of paper. He slowly pulled it out and unfolded it, trying to add suspense.
“Oh, come on! Just read it!” Hanbon says impatiently.
“Ok, ok,” Coy giggled. Suddenly he gasped. The paper said, “We’re going to Disney World!” And there was a little mickey drawn next to it.
Coy practically lunged at Anthony, giving him a hug. Anthony was rightfully caught off guard by this, but he hugged Coy back.
Hanbon grabbed the paper out of Coy’s hand and read it, gasping before showing it to Will.
“WE’RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD?!” Will said with the biggest smile on his face.
Coy pulled away from Anthony, his face slightly flushed, hoping no one would notice. He looked up at Anthony who had the same flush on his face, but he wasn’t smiling.
“Oh, well, uh,” Anthony stammered, “Y’know Disney World is really expensive, I couldn’t afford 4 tickets, so…”
“Oh…” Will said, disappointment suddenly flooding his face.
“That’s ok! We can just stay here and play with a pebble again!” Hanbon said in attempt to cheer him up.
“YAYY!” Will said, pulling Hanbon up to her feet and jumping around.
“It’s ok Anthony, I don’t think he took it to heart.” Coy said, suddenly realizing how close he was to Anthony, he was basically sitting in his lap.
“Yeah,” Anthony said, turning to stare at Coy. They were so close together, Coy could see every freckle on his face. Have Anthony’s eyes always been this blue?
Suddenly Anthony cleared his throat and stood up.
“Coy should probably start packing, the flight is tomorrow.” Anthony extended a hand to Coy and helped him up.
————————
Coy went to his room and started packing, even though he was exhausted from his little adventure today. He couldn’t stop thinking about Anthony staring at him earlier,
Once he was finished packing he collapsed onto his bed and tried to sleep, but his mind kept drifting to Anthony, It’s all in my head. He thought.
