Hello! So if you read (and finished) my other fanfic, The New Intern, you'll know that I promised a collection of outtakes from Will and Tessa's traveling trip. Well, here it is! For those of you who haven't read The New Intern, then you can still read this without knowing the actual plot of the other story. All you need to know is that Will and Tessa have been dating for a while (a year, to be precise), and they are about to travel for a month.

Since this is a collection of one-shots, there won't be an actual storyline/conflict because it's just Wessa fluff :3 I hope you enjoy!


"Will, are you sure we've got everything?" Tessa asked, glancing at him worriedly as they walked towards the check-in counter at Heathrow Airport.

Will only sighed. "Tess, I'm sure that there's not much that we can forget," he replied, gesturing to the giant backpack on her back.

Tessa's plan had always been to backpack, as it would cost much less. But of course, Will had expressed his concerns, and that argument had ended as something quite different.


A few weeks before

Tessa lay on her stomach on Will's bed, her dilapidated laptop sitting in front of her face.

"Do you still have work to do?" Will asked incredulously.

Tessa looked up to see him walking out of the bathroom towards her. "No, I'm looking for hotels and transport," she replied, scooting over to give him space.

He flopped down next to her and looked at the screen. "Wait, are we backpacking?"

Tessa couldn't help feeling slightly embarrassed. "I'm sorry. I have a pretty tight budget," she said shyly, looking down. His bed cover was suddenly very interesting.

She felt a nudge on her shoulder. She looked to her right and met Will's startling sapphire eyes. "You know, I could always... help you out," he said slowly.

Tessa bit her lip and dropped her gaze. "No, I can't possibly-"

"Of course you can, Tess. You're my girlfriend," -she blushed at this- "and a little extra money is completely reasonable."

"I'd rather not. I don't want to..." She searched for the right words. "I don't want to owe you anything," she finally finished.

"Owe me anything?" Will asked, his voice full of disbelief. He tucked a finger under Tessa's chin so she would look at him. "Tess," he said softly, "I'd go to the ends of earth for you, for nothing. You won't owe me or my family anything."

Tessa just looked at him, searching his eyes, though she didn't know what for. She knew he was sincere -he literally would do anything for her, and she knew that from experience-, but she didn't want to take any money from him.

Tessa got up into a sitting position. Will looked at her with hope, but she denied him anyway.

"I'm sorry, Will! I don't want to accept any financial help," she finally exclaimed after he continued persisting.

Will sighed in frustration and put his head in his hands. Tessa felt guilty for upsetting him when he was trying to help her, but she was going to stand her ground.

He finally looked up, a weary look on his face. "Fine, you win," he sighed tiredly.

Tessa lied back down next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder. She heard him chuckling lightly.

"You really are stubborn," he said under his breath.

Tessa looked at him with mock indignation, but she couldn't help kissing the tip of his nose. "I'm sorry," she said again, before looking away. "If you really don't want to backpack, then it's okay if you don't come. You don't have to feel obligated to-"

Will gripped her hand. "Hey. Tess. I don't mind backpacking, I just want to make sure you're comfortable."

Tessa finally raised her eyes to meet his and smiled gratefully. "I love you, you know that?"

Will looked at her thoughtfully. "I might need some confirmation," he said slowly, his eyes traveling down to her lips. His gaze flicked upwards to meet her eyes, before returning to her lips again.

Tessa's eyes fluttered closed as his lips brushed hers softly. Her right hand automatically reached up to his neck, pulling him to her.

She felt one of his hands cupping her face, pulling her even closer to him. She used her free hand to push herself closer to him, but she ended up slipping. She fell forward, causing Will to fall on his back with Tessa pinning him underneath her. She made a small noise of surprise, but Will didn't seem to mind. Instead, his hands latched onto her waist. Tessa tangled her hands in his hair. She could feel Will's chest rising and falling rapidly underneath her. His heartbeat was rapid, and she smiled against his lips.

Will pulled away, taking deep breaths. "Why are you smiling?" he asked, his voice husky and low.

"Your heart," Tessa said, breathless. "It's racing."

He smirked, but he was still panting. "Well, I can feel your heart, too."

Tessa flushed, knowing just how fast her heart was beating from the pounding in her ears.

Will chuckled.

"What?"

"I didn't know someone could blush that hard."

Of course, this only caused Tessa's blush to intensify. Will laughed openly now, and Tessa rolled off of him. She lay down on her side, facing him.

Will tilted his body so he faced her. He was pouting. "Why'd you do that?"

"We need to finish planning," Tessa said, her voice still embarrassingly hoarse. She cleared her throat. "You're distracting me."

With that, she got up to a sitting position -her back purposely facing Will's puppy dog face- and pulled the laptop towards her.

Just as she had brought her laptop back to life from its sleep, she felt something soft and firm press against her shoulder. Without looking, she knew it was Will. She felt him press another kiss on her neck, then the bottom of her jaw.

"Will," she said, trying to keep her voice firm. "Stop."

He pulled away slowly and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Fine," he replied in a childish tone. Tessa rolled her eyes.

"So," Will said, his breath tickling her neck, "Where are we backpacking?"

Tessa smiled. "We're going on the Banana Pancake Trail."

She felt Will's head pull away from her shoulder. "The what trail?" he asked from behind her, his voice incredulous.

Tessa smirked. "Banana Pancake. It's a famous backpacking route," she said.

"And... where is this route?"

"Southeast Asia," Tessa replied, her eyes still on her laptop as she booked plane tickets.

There was a short silence.

"Whoa," Will finally said. Tessa turned around to face him.

"What?"

"Nothing, I just never thought I'd go there," he said, his eyes wide and distant.

Tessa eyed him for a moment, then gave an exaggerated gasp. "No way... William Owen Herondale, the Will Herondale... Scared?"

That snapped him out of his daze. "Of course not! Excuse you, I am not scared of going to Southeast Asia," he exclaimed indignantly.

Tessa wiggled her eyebrows. "No, but isn't it just terrifying? The filthy food! The scams!" She gasped, widening her eyes even more "The diseases!" she exclaimed in mock horror while wiggling her fingers in front of his face.

Will raised an eyebrow. "You've watched too many movies," he said flatly.

Tessa, however, was already clutching her stomach in a fit of giggles.


"Here," Will said, standing in front of Tessa with his hand outstretched. "I got you a hazelnut macchiato."

Tessa took it with a smile and patted the seat next to her. He sat down, his own cup of coffee in hand -a vanilla latte, no doubt-, and leaned back.

"When is the gate opening?"

Tessa glanced at her watch. "In an hour."

"Are you sure? Because I passed our gate and-"

"The gate for Flight AK 245 to Bangkok is now open," a female voice announced.

"I told you so," he teased with a smirk. Tessa rolled her eyes and got up as the voice repeated her announcement.


Tessa couldn't quench the anticipation she felt as they boarded the plane. This is it, she thought. I'm going to really see the world.

Well, Southeast Asia.

They quickly found their seats, with Tessa by the window and Will in the middle seat. A stranger already sat in the aisle seat.

They settled down, and before Tessa put her backpack under the seat in front of her, she took out a book. She had decided to bring The Picture of Dorian Gray since it was quite thin and light.

As she sat up and buckled her seatbelt, she heard Will chuckle.

"What?" she asked, turning to him.

He was suppressing a smile. "Nothing. It's just that... we don't have a lot of space to bring things, yet you manage to fit a book in," he said, shaking his head.

She looked at him curiously. "Are you telling me that you didn't bring a book?"

"My backpack is bigger," he said simply as he produced a book from his own backpack.

Tessa rolled her eyes. "Hypocrite," she breathed out, a smile playing at her lips.


The lights in the plane came back on as the plane tilted to a horizontal position. A voice announced that they were now allowed to turn on electronic devices and go to the lavatory.

Tessa didn't bother looking up, her eyes still stuck on her book.

"Are you sure you don't want to sleep, Tess?" Will asked, looking at her. It was already midnight in London.

Tessa looked up from her book. "Nah, I'm not sleepy," she said.

Will shrugged. "Okay."

He went back to his own book and began reading where he left off. He had just finished off a chapter when he felt something soft fall on his shoulder.

Will looked to his right and found Tessa's head tilted to the side, her brown hair spilling onto his shoulder.

Her hands were still gripping the book tightly, but it was now on her lap, open on the page she had been reading.

Will smiled, watching her tranquil face and steady breathing. He put down his own book, and gently pulled away Tessa's book, folding the page she was on.

He raised his right arm, brought it around her shoulders, and pulled her sleeping body to lean on him. Her head fell on Will's shoulder, and she shifted to snuggle closer into him.

Will planted a soft kiss on the top of her head, and leaned his own head on top of hers.

He drifted to sleep with a content smile on his face.


So, as you can see, this is literally pure fluff! The next one-shots will be quite similar, probably just the two of them doing a random activity and falling asleep in each other's arms, that kind of stuff. Although, that make out scene was kinda hard to write for me because I've never really written any (oops). You can't blame me, all I know about kissing and dating come from fanfics and YA books. Seriously.

Anyways, I'm quite excited to be writing about Southeast Asia, because that's where I'm from! WOOHOO! I've been to some of the places in the Banana Pancake Trail (not as a backpacker though) so that would hopefully help me. I've also done quite a lot of research into this, and any hotels or attractions mentioned in the future will probably be real or based on something real. Because of that, I might take longer to write these.

In other news, this will probably be a side-thing for me because I'm currently planning on doing a full multi-chapter TID story (I've got the first chapter half-way done). It'll be an AU where they all go to a performing arts high school. That'll give opportunities for them to do things like... hmm let's say, serenading each other. Yes, you heard me. Things like that are possible in a PA high school AU. And I definitely plan on doing it. They're even gonna do a school musical (and I've decided on the musical too HA)

This is probably the longest A/N that I've ever done. If you read through that, wow. If you didn't, I understand completely.

Please follow, favorite, and/or review! Tell me what I need to improve on, what you might want to see in future chapters, or anything else! Thank you :)
