Today's the day, the day Julie has her big performance at Los Feliz High to get back into the music program. It was the early morning as y/n was standing in her bathroom just staring at himself in the mirror, the colour from his eyes looked dull, he looked so drained of everything he once was. It frustrated him, to the point where he couldn’t look at himself further as he held his head low. “She… can play again.” y/n whispered to himself with pain in his voice though his pain was cut short with an interfering buzz from his phone, it was from his mum. “Hey sweetie! I’m sorry to bother you but is it okay if you could stay at Julie's for more than a week or two? Maybe let's say a month or two? Your sister just seems to be a lot happier now that you’re out doing something!” This message illuminated his phone, the light emanating from it reflected off his face, yet his expression wasn’t as bright or vibrant as the phone. He let out a weak chuckle of surrender, almost forgetting what it was like at home, but that message alone reminded him.

“Hey y/n! You almost done in there?” Julie asked, causing y/n to snap back to reality for a moment in slight panic. “Uhhh yeah! Just a moment!” He panicked a little as he flushed the toilet, pretending he had been on it all that time. He creaked open the bathroom door hesitantly as he looked at Julie “hey uhh…” y/n seemed a little restless with what he wanted to say, but Julie knew to be patient with him. “Do you mind if I stay… a little longer than a week or two… maybe like two months or so…” Y/n spoke whilst fidgeting with his fingers, picking at the nails to distract himself from Julie’s gaze. “Oh?” Julie seemed a little confused but she didn’t push to find why he’d want to stay that long. Especially since she had to convince him to stay for just a week. “I’ll have to ask my dad but… I have no problem with it and I'm sure he’ll have no problem with it too.” Julie spoke with a warm smile. Y/n envied that smile, he envied how happy she was right now, he envied how she had random ghost boys who just conveniently know how to play music. He was jealous. “Oh!... thank you Julie” y/n showed his gratitude before scurrying off to the spare bedroom in the house, leaving his mum on read in the moment too.

“Whats his deal?" Luke asked Julie as he phased through a wall which almost scared the life out of Julie “you’ve gotta stop doing that!... and I don’t know.” She frowns after answering his question. “Whatever’s going on seems to have been happening for a while now.” Julie states which causes Luke to pout. “Lets get sorted for school then.” Julie states as she moves to her room. “Yeah…” Luke spoke distracted by his thoughts, staring at the door between him and y/n’s room.

In y/n’s room, y/n was getting changed out of his pajamas deciding what to wear, luckily the spare room had all of Ray’s old clothes so he had stuff to wear whilst he was here. He stood shirtless at the wardrobe before someone invited himself in, phasing half his body through the door. “Hey y/n you doing okay?-” Luke’s voice staggered as he noticed y/n shirtless. “Oh my i’m so sorry!” Luke panicked as he spoke, before y/n started to show a bright tint of red on his face “oh my god knock first before you enter! Get out!” he yelled as he threw his pyjamas at Luke but he phased out of the door before the pyjamas had a chance to phase through him. Hearing this from her room, Julie couldn’t help but chuckle to herself thinking about how that's the most emotive y/n has been in a while. “Maybe having the boys around isn’t so bad after all” Julie mumbled to herself as she got ready, a small smile plastered on her face.

After all that ruckus at home they were eventually at school, though y/n and the girls didn’t know what was worse, being away from school or listening to Dirty Candy performing in the gymnasium. Their new song WOW blaring from the mics on their face alongside the choreography which to y/n was a sight for sore eyes. y/n and carrie never really got along with each other in fact y/n despised her. “Nepotism at its finest” y/n mumbled his distaste for Carrie as he sighed, he wondered how Julie and her used to be good friends. Though the boys seemed to be enjoying the show, especially Alex. Seeing this made Julie's anxiety spike up and they all tried to reassure her. Before they knew it, Dirty Candy’s show was over and it was Julie's time to take centre stage sat at her keyboard. She started to play chords as Flying Solo started to take form. It wasn’t long before the song started to take off, the boys performing besides her. They were perfect, y/n watched as they all shine on stage, this makes his heart drop. He was happy for her, he really was, but he couldn’t get over this burning jealousy and pain in his heart.

All y/n could focus on were the voices in the crowd that formed “wow they’re so good” and “they’ll be on the billboards in no time” y/n had a serious look on his face, it should be him on the stage, he should be the one performing but- He started crying, his face plain, staring at the stage as Luke shot a concerned look over to him, he winked at y/n but continuing to perform as if nothing happened. This caused y/n to flinch at Luke's stage presence… not just Julie but all of them, they were born for the stage. y/n couldn’t stay any longer so he left the gymnasium, missing the end of the song and the confusion that came with the ghosts disappearing after it. Not only that, he missed Flynn being upset at Julie over the boys. He made his way home… well to Julies.

y/n appeared in Julie's kitchen, unaware of the events unfolding at school as he looked in the fridge and cupboards for food to make for everyone that would be returning. “Can the boys even eat?” he asked himself as he decided he’d cook for them anyways, he decided on a classic italian dish, Spaghetti bolognese. Simple yet tasty, he tends to add a lot of garlic into his bolognese because he loves garlic, but he went light on it just in case the others didn’t like it. The boys teleported into the kitchen in silence, noticing y/n cooking but Luke made sure to tell the boys to be silent without him hearing them. y/n cooked absent mindedly as he started humming a little tune to himself thinking he was alone. Alex and Luke listened to his humming tone and thought to themselves about y/n’s musicality “is that-” Alex whispered to Luke as Luke responded with a nod. Though Reggie was too distracted by the smell of food wafting through the house. “Oh my god y/n that smells so good! Where’d you learn to cook like that?” Reggie states loudly in excitement, his mouth watering. The other boys panicked trying to tell him to be quiet but it was too late. Y/n jumped a little before turning to look at the boys. “How long have you guys been there?” Alex covered Reggies mouth as Luke spoke “we- we just got here y/n…” he spoke with a half lie, they were there for at least a few minutes before y/n noticed.

“Ah… okay…” y/n spoke blandly as Luke walked up to him. “I’m sorry… about this morning…” Luke spoke to y/n which the other boys thought was a brave thing to do. Alex and Reggie were a little scared of y/n, he was too mysterious and full of secrets, not only that but he never smiles, they thought he was some sort of secret agent or something. “It's fine” y/n spoke, letting out a large sigh. “It's not like you could knock anyways” He adds as Luke awkwardly chuckles. “Well about that…” Luke explained to y/n how they can pick stuff up and interact with things if they concentrate hard enough. “So you could’ve knocked” Y/n shook his head in joking disappointment though it was quite hard to tell he was joking. “A-anyways! Julie got back into the Music Program!” Luke said thinking it would lighten the mood. But y/n stopped what he was doing for a moment, flinching upon hearing that. “Thats great…” he responds, not shifting his gaze from the pan of minced meat and bolognese sauce swirling around. Luke noticed how music made y/n on edge, he also noticed how difficult it was to hold a conversation with him. But before he could get another word in, Julie had entered as y/n finished cooking. “Just in time Julie, I just finished making spaghetti bolognese for everyone.” y/n spoke as Julie’s mouth was agape.

“Y/n! You shouldn’t be the one cooking! You’re a guest!” Julie spoke as she sat at the dining table. “Well it's better than leftovers… and I had the time to do it… so I figured why not.” y/n spoke simply as he plated up the food, placing four plates of spaghetti Bolognese on the table, one for each of the boys and one for Julie. “Are you not going to eat?” Julie asked, confused. “I’ll eat something later, I've already had food…” y/n responds to which Julie retorts. “You only had breakfast, you need to eat!” Julie spoke concerned for y/n’s health and eating habits. y/n turned his back to them all and made his way to his room. “I’ll eat later…” he repeats his earlier statement before making it to his bed and flopping down on it.

The boys and Julie stay at the table and with some trial and error the boys learn they can actually eat food if they try really hard. “Oh wow this is so good!” Alex states in awe as if he hasn’t eaten food in years… literally. “Yeah Julie this is amazing… where did y/n learn how to cook like this?” Luke spoke in awe at the food as the other boys were scoffing the food down their throats. Julie thought for a moment “I think he learned when his mum was ill when he was a child. He had to learn for his younger sister since their mother couldn’t cook and was bedridden.” The boys listen to Julie talk about y/n, they realize there’s a lot to y/n they need to learn, but they worry that he is too independent for his own good. Luke stands up from the table, concentrating with his plate in hand. “I’ll be back…” Luke teleported with the plate of food into y/n’s room.

Y/n was laying there on his phone, messaging his mum, finally responding to the text this morning “they said i could stay… enjoy” he sent that message as he sighed before noticing Luke had entered his room. “Oh luke… is this gonna be a habit now…” y/n spoke to luke as luke let out a small chuckle. “Maybe“ Luke joked with a small smirk as he made his way to y/n’s beside, placing his plate of food on the bed. “Here… try to eat… it was really good by the way, everyone enjoyed it.” hearing that Julie and the boys enjoyed his cooking made y/n relax a little “thats good i guess” y/n responds whilst staring at the plate, he knew Luke wouldn’t take no for an answer that just wasn’t his thing. He picked up the plate and slowly started to eat what was on it. “Hey… what's this?” Luke asked, noticing some sort of book on y/n’s nightstand. “Oh… it's nothing much, it’s just a book where I write all my thoughts and feelings” Y/n answered honestly, they were having a little heart-to-heart moment, but it's not like Luke was learning much about y/n’s past, so y/n didn’t mind sharing a thing or two. “Would that also include lyrics?” Luke asked, looking at y/n with those damn puppy dog eyes. The sunset was creeping through the window reflecting like gold onto Luke's skin, it was honestly a sight to behold. But there he goes again, Luke and his passion for music, it’s like wherever he goes it's just music this and music that. y/n wondered if it was ever draining to be so creative. “There would be… if I still wrote lyrics…” y/n spoke honestly as he hid the book in a drawer attached to his nightstand. y/n found it difficult to lie to Luke, it frustrated y/n this puppy of a ghost was hard to be around, it was suffocating… but he didn’t mind it. After all, it was better than being at home. “We thought… you weren’t into music?” Luke spoke in confusion as it was already discussed that he seemingly didn’t play anything. “I’m not” he lied, y/n lied but why, he could’ve just admitted to his struggles and potentially gained the support of his new friends, but he was too stubborn for his own good.

“Well… if you ever feel like helping out… we need help with Julie and Flynn…” Luke said which sparked confusion from y/n. “What do you mean?” y/n asked shyly as he looked at Luke. “They had a falling out after the performance… because of me and the other boys… she’s going to tell her the truth about us and we’re going to perform for Flynn" Luke spoke before taking a folded piece of paper out of his back pocket and giving it to y/n. “Here’s a copy of the song we’re planning on performing for her… we’d- no- I’d like to know what you think of it… We could use the help…” y/n took the paper and opened it tracing his fingers over the creases of the paper as he did so, the paper was titled “Flying Solo?” Y/n asked if he read through it, he gripped the page tighter with every verse, chorus and bridge. “It’s good… though the handwriting-” y/n spoke as he noticed the handwriting to be a little messy. “Hey! I wrote that!...” Luke pouts as he was playfully offended “... i tried my best” Luke spoke in his little stroppy pout like a child, it almost melts y/n, he expression softened as he almost caught himself smiling for a moment, he stopped himself before it happened.

Y/n cleared his throat before taking out a red pen with a deep sigh so he could tell what he was changing. y/n scribbled stuff out and wrote stuff in “Just this once, I'll do you a favour… for Julie and Flynn” He didn’t want to lose his two only alive friends he has due to music, he’s already lost a lot as it is. He finished his corrections before handing the paper to Luke. Luke stared at the paper, seemingly in awe “you could do this by just looking at it- this didn’t even take 5 minutes-” Luke’s eyes glistened with excitement as he hummed the tune with y/n’s additions though y/n interrupted. “It’s nothing… now go, i presume you have a lot of work to do” y/n deadpanned as he shoos Luke out of his room. “Okay! Okay I'm going!... and thank you…” Luke teleports out before giving y/n any chance to say anything. “That boy is gonna be the death of me” Y/n states as he puts himself under the covers, eyeing over at his drawer where his book was. He just turned over in his bed and tried to sleep.

He tossed and turned before he heard the front door open. He decided to take his plate of half eaten food downstairs to see what was going on. He went downstairs only to be met by Ray and Carlos. Carlos ran to y/n and hugged him “Hey! When did you get here!” Carlos hadn’t seen y/n in a long while, he somehow missed him this morning. “I’ve been here for the past day or two silly” y/n spoke softly to Carlos, he didn’t want Carlos to worry about him so he put up a front to make it seem like he was okay. “Hey kiddo” Ray greets y/n with a small smile ruffling y/n’s hair a little. “Hey, I left some leftover spaghetti bolognese for you to both reheat” y/n states moving into the kitchen to place his plate in the sink. “Thanks y/n, you’re a lifesaver” Ray showed his gratitude as he started to reheat the food for both him and Carlos. “No problem” y/n states as he made his way to the living room only to be met with Julie and the boys. “It’s better than the leftovers we had last time I was here, I was on the toilet for hours!” y/n joked to Ray from the living room as y/n waved quietly at everyone. They could all hear the faint chuckle of Ray as you sat yourself down next to Julie. Julie couldn’t help but talk about how great y/n looked in her dads old clothes. She thought no one could pull them off since they were quite outdated, this caused y/n to get a little flustered as he spoke to her. Despite this, y/n could feel a pair of eyes staring at him, he looked over to see luke watching him. But once their eyes met, Luke immediately shifted his gaze.

“Hey guys, you should have a look at this” Luke decided to intervene for y/n’s sake, changing the topic to something that wasn’t any better than the compliments y/n was getting, it was that damn Flying Solo song. Luke hands the paper to Julie and she reads through the changes “wait- this handwriting…” She looked at the red pen corrections then looked at y/n “You did this didn’t you…” She asks as y/n’s averted his eyes and folded his arms “And what if i did” He spoke stubbornly lifting his chin and closing his eyes for a moment. “It's… amazing y/n!” Julie's reaction caught y/n off guard for a moment as he opened his eyes “it's nothing really-” y/n stood up as he spoke, not wanting to be around for this conversation about music as he made his way out. “My mum would be proud… y/n” Hearing those words coming from Julie’s mouth made y/n feel like time had just stopped, he gripped his clothes where his chest is and a tear fell from his face, though everyone couldn’t see this reaction as he had his back to them. y/n didn’t respond, he couldn’t, all he could do is make his way to his room.

It was a tough night for y/n with conflicted feelings, but the morning eventually came around and Julie knocked on his bedroom door “Hey y/n… Flynn will be here soon… you should come to the garage” She invited y/n but she was greeted with silence. y/n was awake, he was just in bed wallowing in his feelings. Julie walked downstairs to the garage, knowing she wasn’t going to get a response. Y/n did hear her though, he didn’t know what to do, he hated music… so he thought, but for some reason, he feels the need to watch them perform, to watch julie and the phantoms perform this silly song to rebuild a bridge between Julie and Flynn. It had nothing to do with him… yet he felt the need to be involved. He stomped his way to his wardrobe and threw on some baggy clothes before grumpily making his way to the garage despite making the decision himself.

“Oh hey y/n” Julie seemed a little surprised you showed up as you entered the garage, Flynn seemed to already be sitting down in the garage “Can you believe what i’m doing y/n? This girl thinks she has a ghost band” Flynn states her disbelief as y/n couldn’t help but shake his head at Flynn and sigh. “Shall we get this over with then” Y/n states before flopping on the sofa. Julie agreed and the band started performing, performing the song y/n helped with. Flynn was shocked to say the least, seeing these random boys appear as they sung this song about her, she started to realise that what Julie was saying was true… and her shock turned to happiness. However, the same couldn’t be said for y/n it was hard to hear. He looked down the entire time which caused frowns from Luke whenever he’d look over, but he couldn’t get distracted from the main focus Flynn. During the instrumental they all introduced themselves and Flynn was getting into it. As the song ends y/n couldn’t take it anymore, he started to sob uncontrollably which caused attention for all to see.

They didn’t know what to do… The band is finally back together in unity yet something is wrong…

Bright: Rewritten (Ep 1)

Male!Reader x JATP

Hey guys! I’m going to be starting a new series which has piqued my interest from an amazing requester. “What if y/n was in Season 1 of Julie And The Phantoms?” Replacing Julie as Luke's eventual love interest whilst also being his own unique character not replacing Julie as the main character. I am going to rewrite this story whilst maintaining its plot, and hopefully we’ll get a happy ending. Each post will resemble each episode from the show from start to finish adding y/n into the mainframe. I hope you like it!

We’re skipping episode one for the sake of simplicity and not having y/n too involved, alongside the boy’s ghostly appearance. So this will be episode 2! But also the first part to all of this.

Please enjoy!

P.s. anything from after this in italics is referencing the past!

It was the early hours in the morning when y/n decided to start getting ready for school, it was awfully early for him and he had no will power to actually go, however he was bored and wanted to do something. But conveniently enough Flynn had something for them both to do. “HEY!” a voice yelled from outside y/n’s window which made him jump, if it wasn’t for the damn egg she threw at the window he may have responded in a more calm manner as he opened said window. “What on earth are you doing at this time in the morning” you said with grogginess in your eyes and frustration in your voice almost like waking a sleeping tiger. “Whoops sorry! But we need to do something” Flynn spoke in her hyper energetic voice, it was clear she had been up all night worrying about something. “Ugh fine… give me a sec-” y/n spoke defeatedly as he threw some clothes on, a nice baggy jumper with one of your favourite musicians on it and baggy trousers to fit the music boy aesthetic like a pinterest board’s dream. He looked at himself in the mirror propped up against his bedroom door and said to himself “How did I end up like this…” - Well conveniently enough, I’m about to tell you how you came to be a part of this story.

“Okay class today we have a new student Y/n! Make yourself comfortable and find a seat” and there you were, a transfer student at Los Feliz high, you weren’t a foreign exchange student or anything. You just needed a new scenery and since you know Julie through a family friend, your parents figured this was the best plan of action. “Hey y/n!” Julie whispers yells towards you prompting you to sit next to her. This is how y/n met Flynn, who was sitting on the adjacent side to her. “Ohhhh so this is THE y/n huh?” Flynn whispered to you both like y/n was some sort of famous person. Y/n wasn’t at all famous however; Y/n was one of the reasons Julie loved to sing and play piano.

From a terribly unethical young age y/n started playing the piano and took singing lessons. He was far from a prodigy, however his parents had a passion for music so they wanted to encourage him to go down that path and make them proud. y/n’s mum and Julie's mum used to be in a band together back when they were in high school themselves, though each member's priorities started to change and they disbanded once they finished high school. They kept in touch ever since. And with that, you accompanied Julie and her mum when they played music together, helping them out in your own introverted way. Julie was grateful for you both until her mom passed away… and that basically leads up to now!

“Oh right… Julie…” Y/n spoke realising julie was the reason he was up at the crack of dawn because of Flynn. “C’mon y/n! Hurry up!” Flynn yelled practically jogging on the spot as you walked out the front door. “Yeah yeah i’m here” Y/n spoke tiredly as he rolled his eyes and covered his mouth from a deep yawn. As you yawned an arm interlinked with yours and started dragging you in the direction of Julie's house. “Somones had one too many soda’s” Y/n mumbled out loud making sure that Flynn heard his remark. “Seven to be exact” She states in a rushed manner as y/n coughed out a laugh though seemed unenthusiastic about all of this.

Eventually, they made it to Julie’s house. “Why did we rush all this way when I could've driven us” Y/n whined as Flynn continued to drag him down the steps but stopped after he said that. “You-... actually have a point there… Oh well, walking is healthy! Get your steps in!” Flynn states as she continues to storm her way down the step to the garage walking past 3 boys as if they didn’t even exist. Y/n, in turn, could see the boys. He didn’t question it as he was being dragged, his emotions plain, and his eyes rather fed up so all you did was quickly look at them with your eyes, not even moving his head.

“Are they Julie's friends?” Reggie asked quizzically as if the boys were supposed to magically know. “Well considering they’re walking into the garage uninvited… I presume so” Alex states rationally as the others thought. “I mean- we technically showed up uninvited-” Reggie responds to Alex. “ahh who cares the stuff in the garage is OUR stuff, we practically own it” Luke states but then Alex changed the subject. “They seemed upset…” He spoke out loud. “Uh yeah and you wanna know what's worse than one girly crying? There are two girls crying… and a cute guy crying.” Luke spoke with passion for his concern which sparked confused looks from the other boys. “I don’t think that guy was crying-” Reggie decided to place his input which clearly wasn’t the right idea. “Reg not now-” Luke dismissed him from his statement.

And now Flynn storms through the garage door with y/n trailing behind her in a rushed nature, he takes a moment to catch his breath before Flynn goes all crazy on Julie. “We need to talk” Flynn states seriously as Julie looked at both of you with concern from behind the piano. “Are you okay?” Julie asked both of you which was cut off by a paranoid Flynn. But all y/n could think about was the fact that Julie was sitting behind her piano with what looked like sheet music on top of it ‘Did she play again?’- he thought to himself wondering if that was what got Julie smiling so early in the morning. “No, I'm not Okay! You just got kicked out of music!” Upon hearing what Flynn said caused y/n’s heart to drop.

y/n felt partially responsible for this since her mothers bereavement. He felt like he could’ve done more to encourage her and inspire her to keep playing. But her mothers death also left an impression on y/n, more than he thought it ever would. Despite this, he still feels responsible. He sat on the cough and watched their conversation unfold in silence with clenched fists, his face plain. “I’ve been up all night thinking about what I was gonna say…” Flynn spoke as she proceeded to lean on the piano. “I might’ve drank seven sodas but… I need to get this out” She continued then started to talk over Julie in her manic state, she was clearly more upset about all of this than both y/n and Julie combined, it was quite overwhelming to hear from a third party. Whilst this happened you shot a quick glance at the windows of the garage door, noticing the boys peeking through, but he paid no mind to it you barely acknowledged their existence, you just didn’t care. “You Can’t give up music! Your music’s like a gift that would be a tragedy so you’re basically like cancelling Christmas, and I LOVE Christmas!” Flynn continued her rant of encouragement to which Julie sat there with a smile. “She’s right y’know… you do have a gift for this stuff” y/n added from the corner, but all he could do was think about himself in this situation. He has played music way longer than Julie yet… Julie was so special when it came to music, it was like she was meant to play. Which made you wonder why you continued to pursue music yourself, you haven’t played for a while just like Julie… but luckily you have the grades to keep you from getting kicked out, and with your anxiety, you were exempt from public/in-class performances.

“We were supposed to be in a band together… The Triple Threats…” Flynn continued to speak over Julie as both y/n and julie had a distaste for the band name. “I never agreed to that name” Julie states with a small shake of her head and a smile on her face. “Yeah, and I never agreed to being in a band” y/n states with a little scoff which encouraged a frown from the others, seeing the others upset hurt y/n but he just couldn’t.

Flynn continued on this long winding rant that somehow turned into the idea of them not being friends anymore since they’d be in separate classes? As you can tell she was up all night thinking about all of this a little too much. She eventually stopped once she got a headache, which was very amusing to watch from both y/n and julie's perspectives. “Can I talk now? Julie asked. “Fine…” a defeated Flynn sighed.

“I just played piano and sang again”

Hearing those words come out Julie's mouth made y/n’s eyes shoot open in surprise, but that surprise soon turned to pain as he looked down at both palms of his hands. “She can… play again…” he mumbled as his heart dropped, he was jealous, jealous of Julie and her ability to play after all this time. He wondered what he was doing wrong and why he was falling behind so quickly. How could she have done this over night? He would think to himself with conflicted feelings. He was happy for her but… also upset…

“What? Why didn’t you just say so?” Flynn asked as if she would’ve let Julie get a single word out when she had her soda mid-life crisis in front of her to which Julie commented about. Flynn hugged Julie out of happiness, she was grateful that Julie's gift came back. y/n watched with a broken smile, he was smiling but he felt nothing about it, he wanted to be happy, truly, but he felt worse than ever now. He stood up and briefly mentioned “We should probably head to school now…” he knew he cut off Flynn's question, she was about to ask what made Julie play again, but knowing that would just make y/n even more upset.

“Oh yeah!” Flynn shot up in excitement “We need to tell Mrs. Harrison you can play so you can stay in school and my life won't be that sad picture I just painted for you” She adds as Julie lead the way out of the Garage, her eyes met the boys who were trying to act ‘Casual’ as if they weren’t so obvious. y/n also saw them but paid no mind to them, looking away in a matter of seconds like they were just the wind or something. “Oh hey!” Julie greeted the boys forgetting that Flynn and supposedly y/n couldn’t see them so she quickly played it off like she was talking to the two of them and not her ghostly boy band. “Leeets Hustle!” She states a little too enthusiastically which provokes an eyeroll from you as she pushes you both up the step.

Meanwhile, the boys made their way into the garage, “I wonder why Julie didn’t tell us she could shred on the piano” Reggie asked both his bandmates. “It probably has something to do with her mom. You know?” Alex responded seriously as he put his hands in his pockets. “Yeah and not only that… the other kid seemed weirdly surprised that she could play again… he looked frustrated” Luke added as they went into silence for a moment, Alex took a mental note of what Luke said, but also a note of how he keeps commenting on that guy and not Julie. “It must've been hard for them.” Alex adds in a tense tone as the topic quickly changed so they could go about their day as per usual as they met Julie's dad Ray.

Meanwhile, at Los Feliz high, the girls and y/n were speaking to Mrs. Harrison and she seemed conflicted. “Believe me, I think it's wonderful you sang again…” she spoke to which y/n spoke up for once “just give her another chance-... Please…” This surprised Mrs Harrison, you haven’t come up to speak to her the whole year, it left her a little speechless. “It wouldn’t matter. A new student starts tomorrow.” And with that conversation coming to an end, you all knew when you couldn’t win that battle as you walked out of the music room. Julie sighed heavily.

“So… Now what…”

Now cut to after school, Flynn had gone home to recover from her seven sodas and rest and Julie invited y/n over to talk about something important to which y/n hoped it wasn’t about music but let's be honest… it's obviously going to be about that. Once they arrive at Julie's home they make their way up to Julie's room, which the boys also just happen to be in. “Hey Jules! What's in the box!” Luke asked which made Julie alarmed thinking y/n couldn’t see them so she didn’t want to sound insane. “Do they… have to be here for the conversation too?” y/n asked about the elephant in the room, mainly because he didn’t like crowded spaces or being around many people. “Wait, you can see them?” Julie asked as her eyes shot wide open, her head whipping to look at y/n. “Uhh… am I not supposed to?” Y/n responded with a tilt in his head seemingly unbothered by their existence as he sighed, they were the least of his problems. “Wait! You can hear us?!” The boys spoke in unison which caused y/n to flinch a little, he was caught off guard by the boys characterised personalities. “I- uhm… yeah?” y/n responded as if they were crazy. “I think I should go-” Julie stopped you from leaving, she knows he likes to leave when things get too complicated or confusing, to which she tries to help him with.

“No! y/n… this is great! Let me explain.” She sat him down on the edge of her bed and explained how she found an old CD in all of her mums belongings and how they just appeared out of thin air once she started playing it. “Sunset Swerve?” Y/n asked, confused. “Sunset Curve!” Luke yelled in correction which caused y/n to flinch. “Oh yeah i think i heard of you guys… Now or Never yeah?” Y/n spoke casually about their music, he liked to listen to a good boy band every now and then, it was safe to say he had impeccable taste. “Yes! That's us!” Alex states excitedly knowing they have a fan even so far into the future. Though despite this the boys were still in awe with y/n. Though, y/n couldn’t look at them, he found the whole situation embarrassing. “Well I'm Reggie” “I’m Alex” they all introduced themselves one at a time before Luke came up in front of you and introduced himself properly. “And i’m Luke, it’s a pleasure to meet you uhh…” Luke spoke forgetting y/n hadn’t introduced himself yet. “y/n” He introduced himself plainly, his eyes meeting Luke's for a moment. This caught Luke by surprise, he could see that they were almost cloudy and… painful. But he snapped out of his thoughts with a slight flustered tone to his face. “y/n! Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you!” Luke recovered as he then looked at Julie.

“How did getting back into your music program go…” Luke asked, changing the subject as he sprawled out on Julie's bed playfully. y/n sat there patiently listening. “No luck… I asked and Mrs Harrison says there's another kid starting tomorrow” Julie states in a defeated tone before y/n started to hold his head low upon hearing that. “Well that's one thing you did wrong asking” Luke states with disgust in his tone at the word asking. “Sunset curve booked gigs by doing, and you should too!” He states like a real hype-man. “Well you guys can sort that yourselves” Y/n states as he stood up. “I’m gonna head home-” y/n started to walk before getting stopped again by Julie, it was quite obvious y/n didn’t want to be involved in whatever music stunt they wanted to pull. “What is it now Julie”

“Could you stay here… for a week or two” Julie asked, which sparked surprise from y/n “uhhh… why would I do that?” he asked seemingly wondering what her thought process was behind that request. “Well… you can see the boys and… i think it would be a great deal of help if you were around… just so i know i’m not going insane” Julie spoke which made the boys feel a little offended though they could understand her viewpoint. “And if you want you could help us with music if you want-” Julie adds to which y/n quickly rebutted. “I don’t play any instruments or write any songs Julie… but i’ll stay to help you get back into the music program and to help you figure out why these boys are here…” Y/n lied, but why? He could play instruments and he’s a great writer and singer so why did he lie? Julie didn’t want to push her boundaries so she agreed to the conditions.

“Well then, let's get planning shall we?” Luke states as the boys follow him out of the bedroom and down the stairs to which both you and Julie followed them to help in the mission to get Julie back into the music program, which starts tomorrow.

Hey guys! I know episode two is supposed to have Julie’s big performance to get her back into the music program but i’m gonna add that into episode 3 because i want to even out the content of each episode and there was already a lot going on in this one! Just know the performance will be in the next post!

To recap, y/n’s birthday has just come to an end and Julie and the boys have settled down for the rest of the night, though someone seems to be a restless sleeper.

Luke looked around to notice the boys were gone, it was quiet… a little too quiet, he swore the others were here a matter of minutes ago. He looked down at himself in bed, he felt… so stiff, his crotch was leaving an in-print underneath the covers as it was poking from his underwear. “Fuck…” he mumbled to himself as he grew hot and bothered by it, and alongside this, with everything thats happened recently, he couldn’t get his boyfriend out of his head, nor could he get the idea of y/n in his hole, out of his hole- i mean head. He pulled down his blanket to reveal his shaft practically begging to be set free from his tight underwear. He likes to wear tight underwear, Luke thinks it defines his ass pretty well, he loved the subliminal message it sent across if y/n were to ever look, it was almost inviting, like he asked for attention. Though with y/n, he’s too shy to give him any which leaves Luke edged physically and mentally.

Luke finally pulls off his underwear and he starts to drool, drooling at the thought of y/n making his hole wet and filling him up, he closed his eyes, putting his fingers in his mouth to soak them of his spit. He imagined taking y/n’s fingers and soaking them, guiding them down towards his spread legs, past his hard shaft and towards his hole. He did so himself, pressing his own fingers against his tight hole imagining they were y/n’s fingers, his other hand on his throbbing dick, slowly tugging up and down taking his time to pleasure himself at the thought of y/n. “Oh fuck~” he let out a quite moan and gasp as he massaged his hole, thinking about how he would make y/n do this, thinking of the look on y/n’s face as his knees become week at the sight of Luke in heat. It was exhilarating. Luke started to push his fingers against his hole, allowing it to envelop his fingers, taking them in almost instinctively, first one finger, then two, then-. He let out a large moan of pleasure as he almost naturally had three fingers inside of him “oh fuck y/n~ it feels so good!” he moans out in pleasure, the look on y/n’s face would be priceless between Luke's legs, Luke could only beg for more as he imagined how big y/n’s cock would be.

In fact Luke knows how big it is, he’s a big fan of teasing y/n in public whenever they are around others, making a slight comment or just being too flirtatious would get y/n flustered and excited. Luke would often see y/n’s bulge practically bursting out of his trousers when he would and the thought of seeing it in-person, felt like a treat to Luke, and Luke most definitely has a sweet tooth. “I want it now!~ give me your big cock y/n!~” he moans loudly as he imagined himself stripping y/n of his clothes only to reveal his massive shaft exactly how he imagined it, he worked on it, slapping himself with it on his face and his tongue. “Give me your dick y/n~” he made sure it was left dripping in saliva, his eyes rolling back as he got what he wanted. He didn’t want to use lube, or a condom for that fact. He wanted to feel the natural curve and veins of y/n’s throbbing dick, he wanted filled with it like a water balloon ready to burst. He could imagine y/n’s moans as Luke worked on his shaft, he wasn’t leaving a single inch untouched until he stopped. “I want you to cum all over me y/n” Luke spoke with a smug grin as he turned up the tempo of his deep throat, y/n’s knees buckling with pleasure as both their eyes rolled from excitement. “Ah fu- i’m gonna-” Before he could announce it y/n came all over Luke's face, panting heavily as he did so. Luke had this massive smile on his face as he did so, not cleaning up afterwards. “Look at what you’ve done~” he purposefully made eye contact with y/n before then turning over onto all fours in front of y/n.

“We’re far from finished though” taking a hold of y/n’s dick behind him, Luke wanted more. Y/n was panting from the stimulation, trying to recover from the deepthroat he’s just received as Luke imagined. He backed onto y/n’s cock, allowing his hole to stretch to take in all his girth “Oh~ fuck! You’re so big y/n~” Luke grunts out as y/n gasps from the pleasure, feeling Luke’s tight hole swallowing his dick “Luke! Ah~ it feels so-” Y/n spoke out a broken sentence unable to finish his sentence in his flustered nature. Luke continuing to back up, now feeling every inch enter inside him with its girth stretching him out, he started to bounce, moving back in forth on all fours, jerking y/n’s dick with his tight hole, his ass bouncing against y/n as y/n shook from pleasure. “You’re doing so good y/n, fill me up like the good boy you are~” Luke started to speed up, the pleasure becoming too much for y/n as they switched positions, Luke now being ontop of y/n, bouncing on that thick throbbing cock of his. “Ah!~ wait… f-fuck- Luke” Y/n whimpered as they both stared into each others eyes, he could feel himself ready to release. “I-i’m gonna- a-ah!~” Y/n let out a loud moan which was stopped by lukes lips meeting his. He started to fill Luke with his warm thick Load, leaving no empty space unfilled inside of Luke, they both moaned as their mouths were conjoined together. They stopped kissing as y/n couldn’t release anymore. “Ah-Ah!~ that feels so good~” Luke let out a moan of satisfaction as everything started to fade to black.

“Luke?... Luuuke! LUKE!” Luke woke up to a familiar voice, a voice he would never forget. “Huh?” his vision was blurry for a moment as he opened his eyes to see y/n fully in his school uniform. “You seemed like you were having a restless dream…” Y/n mumbled under his breath as Luke seemed a little confused. Luke was under his blanket, tucked in. He looked around to see the boys sat about and Julie seemingly waiting to go to school. “I- well… it was definitely a dream alright…” Luke seemed to be panting a little which led y/n to be a little concerned. “Are you okay? The boys said you were like that all last night” y/n asked with a little hint of redness on his face. “Y-you weren’t here last night?” Luke asked in confusion, he could feel something wet dripping from his hole underneath the sheets, something warm, but he tried to keep his cool. “No I wasn’t… I accidentally left my car here yesterday when I fell asleep so I came here this morning to take Julie to school in it” y/n explained why he was in the Garage.

It was true that y/n didn’t stay the night. But to Luke, that dream felt so real… too real to be a lucid dream because… he could literally feel y/n’s load trying to escape him as they speak! “Ah! I see… i’m okay y/n don’t worry about me, it was just one of those nights y’know?” Luke reassured as he sat up, though every movement felt a little painful in his downstairs region. He winced a little but played it off. Y/n watched as Luke sat up, he could tell something was up but he didn’t want to pry nor did he have the confidence to. y/n did however look down at Luke's lap to notice he was hard underneath the covers. He looked away so fast it almost gave him whiplash, he was so embarrassed. “I- I- uhh-” y/n went to speak but Julie spoke over him. “We should get going now y/n… otherwise we’ll be late…” Julie spoke seemingly in a rush as y/n then shot up from beside Luke. “Ah! Yeah-” y/n spoke alarmed before Luke dragged him by the hand towards him so he could kiss him on the cheek. “Have a good day today y/n” Luke spoke softly as he let go of him. Y/n becomes beetroot red as he nods fastly before scurrying out of the garage with Julie.

“Dude that was so gay” Alex spoke with his hands crossed and a slight smile on his face. “Dude you’re literally gay… and lets not forget the summer of 93’ “ Luke jokes with a smirk as Alex shook his head a little embarrassed. “That was a one time thing! And you were drunk…” Alex spoke, trying to justify himself. “Yeah yeah whatever.” Luke spoke as he got out of bed and started limping to the bathroom. As Luke was in the bathroom, Reggie and Alex started talking. “Is there something I'm missing here? Summer of 93?” Reggie asked with that confused furrow look on his face. “It's nothing for you to worry about man…” Alex reassures as Reggie nods like a puppy seemingly just going with it. “Did you see Luke walking… Do you think he’s injured?” Reggie asked yet another question to Alex and Alex shot him a concerned look. “I’m not sure… whatever happened last night… he doesn’t seem upset about it…” Even Alex was stumped for the most part, they did hear weird noises last night, however it was nothing out of the ordinary, they just thought Luke was a restless sleeper.

Meanwhile, Luke was standing in the bathroom with his underwear down, he reached behind him with his fingers to feel his hole, he winced as he rubbed it, feeling how wet it was. “What?-” He looked at his now wet and sticky finger. “How was that possible… he wasn’t even here last night-” he mumbled to himself clearly panicking a little as he moved a tile behind the sink to reveal a small box, he opened it to find a butt plug in it. “Well if it is y/n’s…” He bent forwards a little, resting on the sink as he inserted the butt plug with a slight gasp. “Dude are you alright in there?” Alex yells from outside the bathroom which catches Luke off guard. “Yeah! All good… just yesterday's snacks catching up to me” he came up with an excuse which almost disgusted Alex. “ew gross dude, not cool” Alex mumbled as he made his way to his drumset.

Once Luke comfortably had his butt plug in he put the box behind the tile and placed the tile back on the wall. He flushed the toilet to pretend he was done with it and left the bathroom. “I wouldn’t go in there for a while guys” Luke joked as Reggie pulled a face of disappointment and disgust. “Guess I'll be using the Molina’s restroom today” he sighed deeply with raised eyebrows as Luke started to get ready. “Are you heading out?” Alex asked with a tilt to his head. “Hm? Oh yeah! I’ve just got an errand to run, that's all…” Luke states as his mind was preoccupied, the others didn’t bat an eye to this. “Oh! Will you be back for practice later?” Alex followed up with another question to which Luke gives a promising nod to in response. “Yes i should be” Luke states as he makes his way to the garage door, “I’ll see you guys later.” Luke says his goodbyes and so do the rest of the boys as Luke left to make his way down the streets of L.A.

“Okay hear me out- ‘home is where my horse is’ “ Reggie tried to propose the idea of performing his so-called one hit country wonder, to which Alex sighs and says “Sure Reg lets hear it… i have nothing else better to do today” Alex mumbles in defeat which makes Reggie pout and fold his arms. Though he had a delayed reaction “wait- you said yes!” Reggie became excited, which I'm sure Alex will grow to regret later.

In the meantime, y/n, Julie and Flynn were having lunch in Los Feliz high cafeteria, where for once, they aren’t singing up a storm and are actually eating. y/n was playing with his food, just poking at it with his fork seemingly preoccupied in thought. “Hey… have you guys had any… strange dreams recently?” Y/n asked without looking up from his lunch. Julie and Flynn looked at each other a little confused at the sudden question. “Uhh… no not really” Julie states. “I had one recently where I was a worm, not just any worm though, a PREGNANT worm…” Flynn states one of her wild dreams she’s had over the last week, though it most definitely wasn’t what y/n was talking about. “That's not what I meant Flynn…” Y/n grew even more flustered not wanting to spell it out loud as he covered his face with his hands, though he did find Flynn’s story amusing, so did Julie based on her giggle she let out. Despite this, Julie seemed to have a smirk on her face noticing y/n’s embarrassment. “This is about Luke isn’t it? You had a dream about him huh?” she asked teasingly as she nudged him with her elbow. He panicked a little “WHAT?! NO NO WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT? DEFINITELY NOT…” y/n yells in a panicked state almost startling the whole cafeteria. “It was a dream about Luke!” Julie states as y/n’s embarrassed reaction made it severely obvious. “Was it spicy? Did yous y’know… bow chika wow wow” Flynn asked seemingly wanting to know every detail as she teased y/n. “Enough!... okay maybe we did BUT!-” he paused before the others could get a word in. “That's not the problem…” y/n spoke timidly as he fiddled with his fingers looking down at his lap. “Huh?” both Julie and Flynn said in unison. “Then what's wrong…” they asked together. “It felt… Too real?” y/n admits as the others were unsure of what to say.

On the other hand, Luke was walking the streets of L.A. just passing the Orpheum reminiscing on their big day there, Luke hoped they would all be able to perform on a stage even bigger than that some day. But now wasn’t the time for Luke to reminisce. “Theres only one person who can make these dreams a reality” He grumbled under his breath to himself as he looked at a small mark on the back of his hand that was well hidden. “Caleb…” and with Luke saying that it was like magic as Caleb appeared in front of him, though only visible to him. “You called?” He had a devilish smirk on his face as if he already knew what he was going to demand.

“What have you done to me and y/n?” Luke asked as his eyebrows furrowed in a serious tone, this man stood on business today. “Oh my how straight to the point you are… not even a hello?” Caleb dramatically sighed with an eyeroll before looking back at Luke. “I thought you’d like that I tied your souls together in the dream world” He states as he starts to walk alongside Luke. “What do you mean ‘tied your souls’ “ Luke asked seemingly in shock. “Well it’s simple really… you both experience your dreams Luke… I would’ve made it so you experienced y/n’s dreams but… the only thing I could work with was a strand of his hair from your clothing when you came to the Hollywood Ghost Club with your friends.” Caleb continued which left Luke in a shocked state.

“Why- why would you do that- and also… why am I experiencing the after effects in real life!” Luke demanded an answer from Caleb as having this butt plug in for so long was making him a little restless as he couldn’t relax too much or it would slip out of place. “Oh my… I just thought it’d be fun to watch you both squirm in confusion as your dreams and reality became one… and from the looks of it-” Caleb smirked as he spoke “-you seem to be enjoying it now, don’t you?” Luke seemed a little flustered as Caleb noticed that he wasn’t against what was happening. Luke hesitated, ‘maybe the dreams aren’t so bad-’ Luke thought to himself as he shook it off. “You’re probably thinking that it's not so bad now is it?” Caleb teased, it was like he was practically reading Luke's mind.

“Look! Just because I want to have sex with my partner doesn’t mean you need to play devil's advocate! It’s not cool man” Luke spoke sternly which left a not-so sorrowful frown on Caleb's face, he sighed deeply. “Fine! I’ll remove the dream-bound curse… under one condition” Caleb spoke with intent which led to a very deep eyeroll from Luke as he groaned. “What could you possibly want now.” Luke states as he was done with Caleb, he never wanted to see him again after this. “You and your band have to perform a gig or two with me at the Hollywood club! If you agree to those conditions, I'll break the curse and I won’t ever bother you or y/n again.” Caleb proposed the offer to Luke, though Luke seemed a bit confused. “Is that all? I thought you would’ve wanted something more- nevermind, we’ll do it.” Luke sighed then added “But! You can’t just leave us alone… you have to leave Julie, Flynn and the other boys alone too.” he states with a hint of sass behind his voice. “Oh my how thoughtful of you” Caleb smirked with a small chuckle. “Fine!” Caleb sighed as he clicked his finger and the curse started to lift from the back of his hand. “I guess I can do that…”

As that happened the same thing occurred to y/n. “What do you mean it felt ‘Too Real’?” Flynn asked y/n with a look of utter confusion. “Maybe it was a lucid dream?” Julie suggests as they all looked at each other, they noticed y/n’s right hand start to glow then fade away. “Did- did you guys just see that?” Y/n asked, clearly freaked out by his hand literally glowing for a brief moment. “Yeah… we did.” Both Julie and Flynn spoke in awe as their mouths agape.

After the whole fiasco with Caleb, Luke made his way back home to the garage where the other boys were still sitting, Alex seemingly fighting for his life. “Oh Luke you’re finally back thank god!” Alex pleaded with joy as Luke came through the door. “Uhhh… did I miss something?” Luke asked rather confused at why Reggie had a Banjo in his hand. “Can you tell Reg that we are not performing his country music… he has too many country songs!” Alex practically begged for mercy. “Awh c’mon man it's not THAT bad” Reggie tried to defend his music. “I’m sure y/n would perform them with me” Reggie pouts as he continued what he was saying. “Yeah- no chance Reg, maybe work on your country album as a… solo career in the future” Luke shook his head as he made his way to the bathroom. Reggie pouts as he folds his arms over his banjo “You guys just don’t understand my musical talent.” Both Luke and Alex chuckle as Luke then went off into the bathroom.

Luke took a deep sigh as he pulled down his trousers and underwear. He leaned over the sink to pull his butt plug out that had been in way longer than it should’ve been, a small moan escaped him. “Wow he must be going through it” Alex states thinking Luke must be having a hard time on the toilet, to which Reggie agrees. But, it turns out Luke was just checking something… “It’s gone…” All of y/n’s cum was gone, it appears the curse being uplifted also uplifted all the after effects too. He seemed rather upset about it, he liked feeling y/n’s liquids deep inside of him, if Luke had his way, he’d be pregnant by now if that was possible. “It's for the best Luke…” He spoke to himself, reassuring him that there will be more times for them to have sex in real life.

But he thought to himself about the dream he had during y/n’s party, ‘Did he feel that dream too?’ he shook his head, the dream-link must've only applied to them when they’re both sleeping. To which he had conflicted feelings about, he wanted y/n to experience what he had gone through with him to deepen their connection, but he also liked the purity and innocence that y/n will still have since he just thinks their most recent dream was only but a dream. Luke looked at himself in the bathroom mirror with a small smile on his face. “Maybe one day y/n… you’ll get your gift don’t worry.” His smile became a smirk as he sorted himself out and continued his day like nothing happened.

As for y/n and the girls, they went about their day pondering on what could’ve been the reason for y/n’s hand glowing, but they could never draw a conclusion. Y/n remained innocent, thinking he only had a one-time erotic dream which he didn’t know wasn’t his own. In-fact they forgot about y/n’s hand by the end of the day as they had more important things to discuss. Julie and the Phantoms next gig.

Not long after y/n woke Luke up from his seemingly exciteful dream you were all sitting around playing some fun games and talking about anyone or anything possible, some people call it gossiping but you guys call it fact sharing. Because, you guys only ever spread the truth. “Oh y/n! remember when Carrie tried to invite you to her pep rally and she fell over trying to speak to you?” Julie spoke to you as Flynn couldn’t help but chuckle about their common enemy being their demon. “Yeah… she definitely ate the ground that day” y/n spoke as he chuckled awkwardly, the boys found it quite amusing, all par from Alex who isn’t the time to laugh at people hurting themselves. Whereas Reggie and Luke are the type to watch compilation videos of children being silly and falling over.

Despite Luke being engaged in the antics going on, he was still a bit distracted by the dream he had not too long ago. It circled him, almost taunting him for something he can’t have at this moment, it teased him and not in the way he’d want to be teased. “Hey guys…” Luke speaks to the other boys. “Do you mind if you could try and give me and y/n some alone time soon?” he asked the other boys, to which he was met with skepticism from Alex and a teasing look from Reggie. “For adult stuff?” Reggie asked with a raised eyebrow, elbow barging him lightly. It made Luke a little embarrassed as they caught on way before his silly little dream.

“Yeah yeah whatever” Luke pouts as he folds his arms, looking away from the two of them. “I’m sure we can come up with something-” Alex spoke reassuringly as Luke went to speak to y/n. “Hey!-” he was cut off by the voice of a familiar man… Julie's dad. “Hey kids! I’ve got some dinner ready for you if you haven’t already demolished the snacks and cake-” Reggie’s head perked up as Julie’s dad spoke, he couldn’t turn down Ray Molina’s cooking. After the death of Ray’s partner, or more commonly known as Julie’s mother, Ray started to get back into cooking. He finally started to prepare food that wasn’t leftovers and people caught wind of it… People as in the boys… “HELL YEAH LETS GO GUYS” Reggie was basically bouncing, excited to have this food. He basically didn’t give anyone a chance to speak before dragging them to the house. “I’m alright guys… I think I'm gonna work on some music…” Luke declined the offer, seemingly rather gutted and let down by what was happening, y/n was getting dragged away to the food, away from him.

Alex looked back at Luke mouthing an apology as he left. Y/n also looked back at Luke, but not with an apology, more so a confused and concerned look. Before he could say anything y/n was dragged to the dining table in Julie’s house leaving Luke alone in the Garage. He sighed dramatically as he walked sluggishly back to his couch and basically collapsed on it, head into his pillow. “This happens every time!” he yells into the pillow before turning around to look at the ceiling. “Maybe I'll get a chance later…” he reaches over his pillow to grab his notebook hidden behind it, it was similar to that of his lyric book, this one also had lyrics in it. Though it was his private work. Work that was personal to him, more so than Unsaid Emily, as this was current work, not old work. “Even in this distance I know you’re close, but you’re still far and it hurts the most-” He wrote those words down with his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth in concentration. Then he frustratedly scribbled it out as his sighs turned from defeat to annoyance. “y/n…” Luke stayed there staring at the ceiling thinking at this moment.

Meanwhile, the rest of the gang was in Molina's house all around the dining table, it was a little small and cramped but everyone made do. Turns out Julie technically didn’t lie about having dinner with her family. “Alright Dinner is served” Ray returned from the kitchen with a smile as he placed a few big plates on the table, the food wasn’t anything too heavy, it was a light dinner, knowing everyone was stuffing their faces earlier. y/n looked at the food and smiled slightly, though his mind was preoccupied by his boyfriend Luke. “Guys… do you think Luke's okay…” He asked quietly as Julie next to him heard his voice and smiled softly. “He’s probably still tired, you know how cranky he can get when he’s sleepy.” Julie tried to reassure y/n as he looked from the food to her. It calmed his mind a little, but he was still worried in the end.

Reggie and Flynn were listening into their conversation and were smiling between themselves about it. “Come to think of it, Luke and y/n make a pretty cute couple… though i never saw it coming” Reggie spoke with his mouth full of food which caused Flynn to chuckle a little with a slight shake to her head. “Reg you never see anything coming” Flynn responded as Reggie dramatically put his hand on his chest in shock. “It feels almost just yesterday when you guys first met y/n” Flynn adds with a small smile as she picked up her fork and started eating. “I know right!... actually- how did we meet him again?” Reggie had a mental block which was no Surprise to anyone at the table. But…

Their fateful encounter was on a cold autumn day when the leaves were starting to wilt and fall off the trees around the neighbourhood. Julie, Flynn and y/n had a week off from school as there was a health and safety concern which needed to be urgently handled. “I’m SOOO bored guys can we please do something before I go insane” Flynn spoke to her phone, it appears she was on a group call with Julie and y/n. “C’mon Flynn we need to get this presentation done in time for school next week.” Julie spoke which ushered a large groan from both Flynn and y/n . “or… maybe you guys could come to mine and meet the boys?” She suggested a little with uncertainty in her voice. “Mama gets to see her eye candy again? Say less” Flynn spoke with excitement as she quickly started to get ready. y/n though, was a little uncertain. “Aren’t they like… ghosts?” He asked, a little confused. “They WERE ghosts but not anymore… it's a long story” Julie responded with an awkward chuckle. “I swear you girls are insane” y/n mumbled as he reluctantly got ready, knowing that they’d drag him from his own house anyways if he said no.

The call ended from then on, y/n scurried around his room looking for his coat for this cold autumn day but he couldn’t find one “where is it-” he mumbled almost panicky as he looked for his coat but to no avail. “Guess I'm going out like this-” he heard a knock on his door. “Speaking of…” he made his way downstairs in his baggy clothing to meet Flynn outside. They then both made their way to Julie’s house, which wasn’t too far, but it was a nice 15 minute walk which y/n would typically drive now. Once they had arrived at Julie's house y/n did the typical teenage thing which was to message Julie that they had arrived instead of knocking. ‘Come to the garage!’ - This was what Julie sent back in response and so that's what Flynn and y/n did. y/n was really nervous, he wasn’t good with meeting new people especially boys. Girls he can usually get along with pretty easily but boys? It was almost a foreign creature to him, despite being one himself. But this was worse, they were BAND boys. He took a deep breath before entering the garage after Flynn. “Finally we’re here!” Flynn states as if it took forever for them to arrive. “Yeah you took your time” Julie states jokingly as the two girls laughed. “Hey Guys!” Reggie was the first to greet y/n and Flynn. He was very aloof and… childish? y/n knew he was going to be a good laugh but he couldn’t help but keep his distance. “Who is the new kid?” Alex leaned over to Julie to ask her the question but before she could introduce y/n to everyone Luke made his way in front of y/n to introduce himself. “Hey, I'm Luke” he smiled that same dorky smile y/n loves to this day, as he offered his hand out for a handshake, it makes y/n a little flustered at this moment. “I uhh… y/n… it's nice to meet you all” y/n introduced himself as he hesitantly shook Luke's hand gently.

“You must be the guy who Julie writes lyrics with…” y/n states plainly as Luke was a bit delayed in response as he was too preoccupied with his thoughts ‘so soft’ - he thought to himself about y/n’s hand before blinking back to reality. “Hell yeah that's me! The one and only…” He looked back at Julie with a pout “I hope” he glared at Julie who started to roll her eyes. “It just so happens that y/n also writes lyrics” Julie said, like throwing a bone to a dog, if the dog was Luke and the Bone was music. “Oh really! That's sick! You should show us your work sometime y/n!” Luke spoke excitedly which y/n couldn’t help but find adorable inside.

“And that's basically how it started… I think” Flynn states to Reggie as Alex pipes up in the background. “You forgot to mention how on edge Luke was that day” Alex states with a small chuckle escaping his breath which sparked confusion from y/n “Huh?” He spoke making it clear he never knew Luke was like that when they first met, he’s always been quite confident. “Yeah coming to think of it… after I told him you were coming over he seemed a little tense… I never thought about it much until now…” Julie spoke, thinking about it. “Maybe Luke had the hots for y/n longer than we thought” Reggie spoke with his eyes wide. Hearing this made y/n grow in embarrassment, he found it quite cute but… the signs from such early on in their time knowing each other made him see their interactions a little differently. He liked it, but it was a bit much to think about.

After a while of talking, y/n started to grow tired, so much so he dozed off at the dining table. Maybe all this talk about Luke exhausted him a little too much. “Awh look at him” Julie states as y/n quietly snored. “I think we should call it a day.” Alex states as the others agree. Flynn said her goodbyes outside which Luke had shot up hearing. “Now is my chance!” Luke ran outside to try and get to y/n in the house, only to find Ray carrying him outside asleep. Luke stared at Ray and y/n then put his head in his hands “again?!” He whispers as he follows them to Ray's car. Luke gave the now asleep y/n a kiss on the forehead before saying his goodbyes as Ray drove off with y/n in the back.

Once Julie's dad drove out of sight Luke dramatically fell to the floor “WHY TODAY OF ALL DAYS GOD WHY?!” Luke yelled out of frustration exaggerating his situation almost straight out of a comedy. It was already quite late so him yelling like that almost woke up the whole street. It caused Julie to leave the house seeing the commotion. “What on earth are you yelling about, do you know what time it is?” Julie spoke in her pajamas rather annoyed by the boy's antics. “All of you guys kept interrupting me and y/n… EVEN. YOUR. DAD.” Luke sulked on the floor. Julie seemed a little confused by his reasoning as she didn’t know what Luke had in store for y/n. “But you both still got to spend time together… is that not enough?” She asked rather concerned and feeling a little bad nevertheless. Luke gulped and blinked rapidly before getting up and keeping his composure. “Yeah… you’re right Julie… I got to see him today… But still-” He was interrupted by Julie “I don’t want to hear it-... Just go to bed Luke…” Julie yawns as she makes her way into the house and up into her room.

Luke did the same, making his way into the garage only to be met with Reggie and Alex. “hey uhh… sorry man, you couldn’t get your alone time with y/n” Alex states, moving up to Luke and patting him on the shoulder. “It’s okay guys…” Luke accepts his failure as he flops onto their pull out bed. “And besides! I’m sure you’ll have plenty of other times to be alone with him!” Reggie chimed in positively with a little grin. “Yeah Reg, you’re right! It's not over yet” Luke spoke having realised that Reggie was right, he had plenty of time to give y/n his gift… even if it ends up being a belated celebration.

The boys eventually went to sleep and Luke was hoping he has another thrilling dream to fuel his drive for when he gets to make it a reality.

Today wasn’t just any ordinary day for the boys and Julie, it was a special day, y/n’s day to be exactly. On this perfectly sunny day with no clouds in sight and a nice cool breeze, it just so happens to be y/n’s birthday. To the boys, birthdays mean a lot to them, they use it as an opportunity to show their appreciation for their friends and to show they care for the people close to them. Julie has witnessed this firsthand and knows they can be a bit extra with their celebrations. However, y/n doesn’t usually celebrate his birthday. This is the first time his birthday has come around whilst being in the boys lives, they had met y/n just under a year ago so they missed his birthday last year.

Currently, y/n and Julie were sitting in y/n’s room thinking up a storm as they were writing lyrics. “Hmm … maybe this could work?” y/n hums a melody alongside the lyrics they had written down it had a similar vibe to Julie and the Phantoms hit song Stand Tall, however it was more soft and emotion provoking. “Oh! That sounds amazing y/n!” Julie spoke as she agreed with his choice for the song. You may be wondering why they were doing this on y/n’s special day? Well this was just a distraction so the boys could finish off their plans for y/n’s birthday celebrations.

“Reggie… why did you get your country posters…” Luke looked at Reggie with a look saying more than it needed to, it seems like they have this discussion more often than Luke would like to have. “Well I figured y/n would like a bit of country too…” Reggie spoke like a lost puppy in a dorks body as both Luke and Alex shook his head. “Reg, tonight needs to be perfect! so … maybe ease off with the posters for today?” Luke spoke as Reggie pouted and started mouthing, imitating the words Luke says.

“Oh yes! Everything has to be perfect because it's your boyfriend's birthday” Reggies spoke sarcastically with a hint of teasing as he smirked with an eyebrow raised. Alex sighed at this interaction between the two of them. “Reggie you’ll understand once you get a partner yourself” Alex said with a spice of sass to it which caused Reggie to pout and sit on the couch with crossed arms seemingly being a little dramatic about the whole partner thing. “Oh Reg…” Alex felt bad for the poor guy, both his best friends were in relationships of their own and yet he’s still just got his best friends and Julie. Alex moved over to consolidate Reggie with the usual ‘there's plenty of fish in the sea’ shtick as luckily the boys were almost done decorating and putting out food and gifts for the party.

There was only a small group of people invited to y/n’s party, just the boys, Julie and Fylnn but despite the small amount of people who were coming, the garage was full of balloons and hanging decorations. There was a massive poster attached to the front of Alex’s drumset at the back of the garage saying ‘Happy Birthday y/n!’ in the neatest handwriting the boys could fork out. “Hey man… did you eventually find a gift for y/n?” Alex spoke over to Luke with a hint of concern in his voice. This question caused Luke to freeze up, he had spent weeks looking for the perfect gift, everything HAD to be perfect for y/n… but he couldn’t find anything and felt guilty for it. “No alex… i didn’t” Luke spoke in honesty, holding his head low as he started tapping his food from stress. The other boys noticed this and moved over to him realising that they didn’t have time for Reggie to be sulking. “I’m sure it’ll be fine Luke!” Reggie reassured him with a little pat on the back. “Yeah! I’ve never really imagined y/n to be the materialistic type anyways… i’m sure celebrating it is more than enough” Alex followed up reassuringly.

Luke looked at his two best friends with his usual puppy dog eyes “Guys are you sure?” he asked for reassurance as the others nod in response. Seeing this, Luke finally relaxed as he threw himself onto the couch hitting one of the balloons to keep himself entertained until the main event arrived. “Thank you… i’d be a wreck without you guys” He said gratefully as Alex followed up with “We know” in a simple tone which provoked light laughter amongst the three as they waited for the others to arrive.

Meanwhile back at y/n’s house, they had just finished their lyric writing session and they’re now getting ready to head to Julies for the party, but y/n doesn’t know that's the real reason. “Are you sure your dad doesn’t mind having me over for food?...” Y/n spoke with a little stutter to him, he didn’t want to impose on their family dinner that he believed they were going to. “Yes!~ of course y/n, we all want you there!” Julie spoke trying to keep up with this charade of lies. But then Julie noticed the clothes y/n was going to wear… they were a bit out of theme for what they were going to celebrate, too casual. “No!- i mean…” she scurried through y/n’s closet to find a nice long-sleeve button up and some jeans that would make him look more party-ready. “I saw these in your closet earlier and I figured you’d look great in these” she tried to come up with an excuse as to why her best friend should change out of the clothes he was currently wearing. Though y/n doesn’t like to question others, her yelling ‘no’ earlier caught him off guard as he was majorly confused. “I uhh… sure…” He gently took the clothing from Julie with a hint of skepticism in his eyes.

“I’ll wait for you outside!” Julie states implying she’ll wait out the front door whilst y/n got changed. She was aware that he wouldn’t want her around whilst doing so not only out of respect but for personal reasons that y/n wouldn’t want to get into. “What is up with her today?” y/n asked himself as Julie left the room. He shrugged it off even though it seemed like she was walking on eggshells around him, he thought maybe she was hiding something, but nevertheless he got changed into his newly suggested clothes and headed out of the house. “OoOo Looking good y/n!” Julie teased lightly as she nudged him gently with her elbow, that provoked y/n’s face to become a little flustered as compliments didn't come easy to him. “Lets get a move on then… I wouldn’t want to be late” y/n spoke trying to change the conversation and move on. They both started to make their way to Julie's house.

And now the sun was setting on their travel to Julie’s, y/n was driving them so it didn’t take too long until they were parked outside the house. “C’mon lets head in” Julie states excitedly which confused y/n a little as he thought ‘whats so exciting about family dinner’ though he reckoned it's something he wouldn’t understand at all. As he got out of the car he noticed Julie walking to the garage which made everything even more confusing. “Uhhh… Jules…” y/n started to tell her that her own front door wasn’t over there, but he paused being too shy to finish his sentence. “Hm?” Julie looked back with a tilted head clearly confident in what she was doing. “Ah… nevermind” y/n spoke, fiddling with his car keys as he followed Julie.

“Guys! They’re nearly here” Luke whispered as they turned off all the lights as Flynn ran in almost late. “C’mon!” he rushed Flynn as she hid behind some chair. They were all hidden now as Julie and y/n entered. “Why is it so-” y/n was about to ask why it was so dark but he got interrupted by the lights turning on and everyone bursting out of their hiding spots, releasing party streamers and erupting with the words “SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/N!” y/n stood there in shock, almost frozen as he didn’t realise what today was, he took a moment to look around, seeing all the decorations and- the country poster? Reggie must’ve snuck into the background. “I- uhh, what is all this…” y/n grew really embarrassed as he looked at his phone and noticed the date, he had only just realised it was his birthday. Music started playing from the old CD player in the garage, a mix of all of y/n’s favourite music burnt onto a CD. “Your birthday of course” Luke spoke with a wide grin as he wrapped an arm around y/n’s shoulder and directed him to a table which had some of y/n’s favourite snacks and food. Alongside it a few gifts from the others.

“You… You guys remembered…” y/n spoke quietly into Luke's shoulder as he was being held by his arm near the table. A single tear fell down y/n’s face which caused Luke to flinch a little, having not expected this kind of reaction. “Ah! I’m Sorry! Is it too much? I knew it was too much and reggie i’m gonna rip that poster-” Luke spoke fast clearly stressed a little before being paused by y/n speaking “no… it’s just” y/n grew pretty flustered, it was clear he was turning into a tomato. “People usually forget my birthday… including my family”

Julie heard this and thought for a moment, she never noticed how y/n’s house wasn’t decorated with any birthday supplies or anything, in-fact not even a cake. “Yeah they don’t… he’s not lying” Julie spoke rather sympathetically having just realised this. “Well if that's the case!” Luke states as he picked up one of the presents which was from Reggie in a little bag. “What a better time than to celebrate it with your favourite people” Luke spoke in a self egotistical way, knowing that he was one of y/n’s favourite people. y/n noticed this and grew more embarrassed taking Reggie’s gift from Luke and opening it. “A-... harmonica?” y/n looked at it and couldn’t help but giggle slightly at the gift. Luke moved his arm off of y/n so he could play it a little. Upon hearing him play Reggie joked to Luke “at least you know he’s good with his mouth.” This caused Luke to slap Reggie on the back of his head, now wondering what the mouth could do to loosen him up, it made him a little riled up so he moved a chair nearby to sit in it and cover his lap with a pillow with a pout on his face.

Reggie applauded y/n as he finished playing the harmonica “hell yeah y/n! Maybe now you can help me with my country music” this suggestion caused a cascade of eyerolls across the entire room but y/n who found it rather amusing. “Maybe…” y/n responded before looking over a Luke sitting down a bit confused as to why he was sitting with that cute little pout on his face which he adores so much.

“Oh! My turn!” Alex states as he moves to give y/n his gift “... well I should say our turn” he states as he rubs the back of his head, indicating that it was a joint gift from both Alex and Julie. Y/n opens it slowly to notice that there’s a book inside and the pages are… blank? “Hm?” he questioned it slightly, there were many pages of this small book that he could easily carry around with him anywhere. “We figured you might want something to write your music in…” Julie states as she directed the pages to the front which has written ‘y/n’s own harmony.’ He smiles at this gift. “You’ve helped us a lot over the past year and… we figured we should help you out in starting your own music career someday… maybe with us?” Alex added with a soft smile as y/n shook his head slightly. “I-... i love writing lyrics… but i don’t want to be on stage… just the thought alone is terrifying” y/n nervously spoke with a small smile, looking down at their gift to him. “But maybe I'll help you behind the scenes someday” y/n suggested with little to no confidence in himself.

“Hell yeah! That would be sick y/n!” Luke yelled from the side as he was sitting in the chair that he realised was more comfy than he thought. Y/n couldn’t help but feel more supported and needed around everyone here, much more so than his own family that's for sure. As they were all talking Flynn came in with a birthday cake, though they didn’t do the classic singing and blowing out the candles which is shocking considering most of them are literally a band, they figured it would be too much for y/n…

Then it went silent, Luke looked around and he was alone, alone and still riled up. He wondered where everyone had gone, they must’ve continued the party elsewhere or something, at least that was his thought. He took this opportunity to lower his jeans to reveal his hard and stiff shaft “fuck- i’m so hard…” Luke states as he took a firm yet gentle grip and started pulling up and down on it, biting his lower lip, thinking about y/n and that mouth of his. He lifts his legs and spreads them, using his spite to wetten his free fingers to start teasing his own hole imagining y/n’s tongue against it making it wet. “Oh! y/n!~” he let out a moan of pleasure as he continued to tease and loosen his own hole whilst rubbing his throbbing dick up and down. Then all of a sudden a door creeks open.

“Hey i forgot my key-... s” y/n entered the garage having forgotten his keys earlier, his face turned beetroot red at the sight of Luke with his legs in the air and everything fully exposed, he wouldn’t admit how hot it looked, he was too embarrassed “ah- i’m so sorry!” y/n started to hurriedly leave before being stopped by like grabbing him and taking him to the sofa. Pushing him lightly to sit down. Luke then sat on y/n’s lap whilst fully exposed. “It’s okay y/n… maybe this could be my gift to you” He smirked as he moved his hips, grinding bare on y/n’s fully clothed lap. “Ah wait-” y/n squirmed a bit before having his lips covered by Luke's hand. “Shhh just relax and enjoy my love~” he leans in to start kissing y/n’s neck slowly, causing little pockets of gasps to leave y/n’s mouth. “Do you like that?” Luke asked as he then sped up the kissing, leaving little hickeys on his neck as Luke's hands wandered down to y/n’s pants and started taking them off, lifting himself to do so.

When he got the pants fully off he stared at y/n’s member hungrily with a ghostly smirk on his face. “Don’t resist… let me help you with that” he states as he moves off y/n’s lap onto his knees on the floor in front of him, leaning over y/n’s legs on the sofa to then fully take y/n’s throbbing cock in his mouth. He worked his way up and down every inch of his shaft not leaving any part unattended as he also lightly massages his balls for extra pleasure. This added pleasure caused y/n’s thighs to tense up around Luke for a moment, Luke found his weak-spot and kept playing with it. “W-wait stop that so-” Y/n couldn’t even form complete sentences in his hot and bothered state, he couldn’t do anything but just let this happen, he loved it deep down. But not as much as Luke appears to be. Luke slowly took y/n’s hard cock out of his mouth as he positioned himself back on top of y/n’s lap.

“Are you ready for your main gift?” he asked y/n as he nodded timidly, almost asking to be inside of Luke as y/n’s face was a mess with how flustered he was. Luke let out a seductive chuckle as he teased y/n with his hole, pressing it up against y/n’s member before starting to take it in. “f-fuck it’s so… big~” Luke let out groans and moans as he felt every inch of y’n’s thick veiny cock enter him, it was better than anything he had imagined before he was obsessed with this feeling, he could get used to this. “A-ah!~” y/n let out loud moans as he could feel how tight Luke was as Luke started to pick up the pace, unable to control himself on y/n. “H-hang on wait I'm gonna!… Luke… Luke!”

“Luke!” Luke’s eyes shot open as he looked around the garage. Everyone was still here as the voice came from y/n. “You fell asleep…” y/n spoke timidly with a piece of cake in hand. Luke’s eyebrows furrowed as he started to pout, having realised his sexual encounter was just a sexual fantasy in his dream. He wished y/n was touching his cake and not the actual cake. “Oh! Sorry… i must’ve been exhausted from planning everything…” Luke admits as he rubs the back of his neck, lightly taking the paper plate to have his own slice of the birthday cake. “Yeah… he was up all last night planning all of this” Alex added to which y/n’s embarrassment grew. “Ah! I see…”

“But now, I know the perfect gift for you y/n!” Luke spoke with a cheeky grin as he looked at y/n. “Hm?” y/n looked confused as they then innocently went on with their birthday celebrations with y/n having no idea what was about to happen once the party ended.

It was a nice spring day where there were light clouds passing by and the sun was creeping through each one as they passed. Julie and the boys were in the garage as per usual, brainstorming up new ideas for gigs and how to expand their popularity. And of course Flynn and y/n are there. y/n seemed to be out of the loop in his own little dazed off world, though that didn’t last long until Luke interfered. “Sooo what do you think y/n?” Luke asked with curiosity on his face, hoping to spark a little conversation between him and y/n. “Hm?... oh… yeah sounds good” y/n responded half-heartedly and plain faced even though he wasn’t listening to their conversation prior. Luke watched y/n for a moment, almost analysing him, but it didn’t last long before Julie said, “It’s fine Luke just let it go.” Luke nods in a more timid fashion, Julie seemed serious about all of this and it sparked concern in all of the boys. Though all of a sudden- “I’ll be back, i’m going to get some food…” y/n spoke dead-panning the others conversation and making his way out of the garage quickly but calmly.

For a while now the boys, especially Luke, have been concerned about y/n’s behaviour. “Hey guys… have you ever seen y/n smile?” Luke asked after y/n left with a spark of concern on his face and in his voice. “Now that you say that no I haven’t” Alex spoke back seemingly surprised at his new revelation. “Maybe he’s just going through a rough time this year” Reggie suggested trying to think of a reason as to why y/n is so shut off from everyone. This conversation made Julie and Flynn uneasy, as they knew what was going on. This uneasy feeling was quickly pinpointed by Luke. “You guys know what's going on, don't you!” Luke fake yelled pretending to be offended but with a hint of please tell me now in his eyes. Those eyes could get anything they wanted if they tried hard enough. “What? Nooo… i don’t know what you mean” Julie dismissed it fakely, she’s a singer not an actor, so there's no surprise she is not the best at hiding secrets. “Awh, c’mon Julie!” Luke spoke backed up by the other boys as Luke walked up to Julie with a look of desperation in his eyes. Julie seemed confused as to why Luke cared so much for y/n. “Why do you want to know anyways… it's not like you guys are-” Julie paused as she looked at Luke wide eyed, coming to her own revelation.

Over the past few months, Luke and y/n have been seeing each other in secrecy. In fact, y/n is the only person to know that Luke is a part of the LGBTQ+ community. They’ve been going on little mini dates like going to the arcades and nice long walks on the beach with some streetdogs… despite the past trauma, luckily they weren’t out the back of a vehicle this time. So it's safe to say that Luke is aware of y/n’s shy and reserved nature, but even after they became official it seemed that y/n wanted to be happy, but yet a smile seemed too heavy for him to lift onto his face.

“You like y/n… don’t you” Julie spoke quietly and in shock, she felt betrayed, after having feelings for Luke herself she sort of threw them feelings away for professional reasons after their big performance at the orpheum. But it still doesn’t change the fact she once loved him. Luke felt guilty, having not told any of the boys and Julie about what has been going on for the past few months. “I uhh… I’ve been learning a few things about myself and… I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner but… i’m pansexual and I have been seeing y/n in secrecy for the past few months-” Luke was cut off by the others synchronised response “MONTHS?!?!” everyone was in shock at how they didn’t realise anything between them, though y/n doesn’t make it easy to know anything about them. They were not even surprised that Luke was Pansexual in fact they expected it. “Bro, not cool, what about bro code! Bros before hoes!... not that y/n’s a hoe or anything-” Reggie spoke then tried to redeem himself for comparing y/n to a hoe jokingly. “You’re good reg…” Julie reassured him before getting back to the bigger problem at hand.

“Well if y/n likes you that much he can tell you himself” Julie crossed her arms seemingly still hurt by Luke keeping secrets, not only that, secrets that would hurt her deep down inside. But Julie will get over these feelings eventually. Now she has a bone to pick with y/n when he gets back, since it wasn’t just Luke hiding things, y/n was also a culprit in their little romantic heist. “Awh pleaasseee Julie, tell me!” Luke practically begged as the other boys didn’t interfere wanting to know themselves. In this moment a distasteful look appeared on Julie's face as she eventually snapped from all the begging and pleading. “Fine! I’ll tell you, but if y/n is mad at me for this it's all your fault!” She sighed heavily as she made herself comfortable, she wasn’t even sure where to begin. Flynn sat next to Julie as her support “Luke put those eyes away” Flynn demands, noticing those puppy dog eyes lightening as he was going to get the information he wanted. The other boys couldn’t help but lightly chuckle at Flynn’s demand as Luke nods in surprise.

Julie took a deep breath before looking down at her hands. “y/n has been through a lot in the past… and it's only recently gotten better for him. It all started when he was Nine”

y/n grew up in a simple loving family, He had a younger sister and two loving parents. However, one unfortunate day caused a freak accident. His house caught alight. “NO MOM!... DAD!” Both he and his sister yelled out in sorrow as their parents got trapped in the burning rubble of a house they were too weak to help them out of heaps or brick and concrete but it was too late for them. Y/n’s parents passed away before firefighters could make it to the scene.

Luke looked at Julie in shock as she explained this “I- I didn't know that-” he spoke dumbfounded by this news as Julie cleared her throat. “No shit sherlock, but that's only the beginning” Flynn states with a sigh as the boys sat around them like it was some sort of story time at a primary school. “Then… Y/n and his younger sister got adopted…”

After the firefighters got to the scene, both y/n and his sister got dragged away from it all despite y/n’s frustration and resistance. They ended up in an adoption centre where they had spent a year before eventually getting adopted into a family that seemed good on paper, to the eyes of the adoption centre. Clean criminal records and everything, house checks were passed flawlessly, at first glance they were the perfect little family ready to adopt y/n and his sister. The adopted family even had a daughter themselves, a daughter which became their adoptive older sister. But this daughter wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. “Please! Stop! I Beg you please!” y/n would yell on the daily with his new sister as his unbiological sister abused him, hitting him in various areas when he didn’t do what he was told, he was basically her servant and he never spoke up about it. “If you ever tell anyone about this… you wouldn’t want to know what i can do to your sister” his unbiological sister would threaten to keep him quiet.

“Is that why… he wears baggy clothes- the scars…” Luke spoke in a nervous tone upon hearing what this girl had done to him, a mix of nerves and almost rage filling him as he wished he learned about this sooner. Julie held her head low as she responded to Luke “I presume so…” Flynn held Julie's hand to support her through this. They were all fighting back tears at this point, but they knew it wasn’t over yet as Julie continued.

Despite their daughter, his adoptive parents were really sweet and kind, but for some reason misfortune tends to follow y/n wherever he went. He came back from school one day and something felt off before he stepped foot in the house, it was quiet… unsettlingly quiet. He opened the front door only to be greeted with blood scattered around the living room, he screamed in insanity and panic as he noticed his adoptive parents dead bodies on the floor, he scurried around in his panicked state looking for his biological sister only to find out she suffered the same fate. There she was, lifeless in her bed just as lifeless as y/n’s eyes as of today. Everyone was dead… even his abusive adoptive sister… he was alone with no one. Last time something happened he had his little sister but now nothing. They were all murdered but him.

At this point Alex and Reggie couldn’t take anymore of it, their feelings were just too much for them so they had to distance themselves from the conversation. Alex retreated back to his drumkit and Reggie moved over to his bass, sitting there just hugging it, clearly overwhelmed by why y/n had gone through. And then there was Luke, a single tear fell down his face “How could- how could someone do that to y/n” he clenched his fists upon hearing about y/n’s adoptive sisters behaviour “He- He didn’t deserve any of that… at all…” he spoke with sorrow in his voice, yet his tears were a minimum, he felt sympathy for y/n but he wanted to help him recover so he stayed strong for his sake and so did Julie and Flynn, feeling the exact same as Luke. “I wish I could say that was everything but he was also bullied-” Julie continued with sorrowful strength in her voice and eyes as she raised her head.

After the events with his adoptive family, the adoption centre decided he needed people he could rely on, people in his family which they should’ve contacted earlier. He moved in with his uncle and auntie not long after the incident. His home life was good from then onwards… but his school life changed drastically. When he was the new kid in Los Feliz High where he became acquainted with Julie but they didn’t know each other well at all, they just shared a few classes together. He even got a new best friend too. It was all looking good for y/n! Until the bullying began. The bullying started off as verbal abuse, writing things on his locker but then it started to get physical, y/n never explained to Julie why this ever happened to him. But his best friend saw it one day across the street after school. His friend went to run across the road and- they didn’t notice an incoming car and got hit. Fortunately his friend didn’t die at that moment but y/n’s friend ended up in a coma for years.

This was y/n’s last straw, something snapped in him, everything piled up until eventually he found himself with a razor in his bathroom… This is another reason for his baggy clothes. He felt so guilty about everything that happened in his life, all the people he lost in the process, he blamed it all on himself. And then one night he found himself standing on the ledge of a bridge. “This- this is it… I'm sorry… I can’t go on any longer-” he went to step over but he was stopped by someone latching onto him. “Wait, stop! Don’t do this! Please!” a voice yelled from behind him in contact, this voice is the voice of a woman we grow to learn to be Julie. Julie saved his life that day, despite his daily struggle he is forever grateful for Julie giving him a second chance at life.

Reminiscing on this moment never failed to bring a tear or two to Julie's eyes, seeing y/n at the lowest point of his life hurt her more than anyone could imagine, she cared deeply for her now best friend alongside Flynn. “He wears baggy clothes because he doesn’t like who he is now… which hurts me so much because he’s the sweetest, most thoughtful person I've ever met.” Julie spoke in a shaky voice as Luke added “Not to mention how pretty and hot he is-” This provoked a slap on the shoulder by Flynn “Now is not the time Luke! God boys...” Flynn spoke, dramatically rolling her eyes and shaking her head. Luke rubbed his shoulder as he chuckled awkwardly as an apologetic nod occurred.

“He’s getting better though…” Julie spoke, her voice still shaky. “I’m starting to see life behind his eyes… I wasn’t sure what was helping him recover but… I think it’s you Luke” Julie spoke despite her own feelings for Luke, the fact that Luke has been there for y/n without Luke even realising himself made Julie so happy for y/n. To the point where she accepts that y/n would be better off with Luke.

“A-are you sure” Luke being clueless as ever, didn’t notice how much having not only him but everyone else in his life made such a big difference, since the boys have only known him for half a year. “No doubt about it,” Flynn agrees with Julie. “I’m sure deep down he’s recovering… you just need to be patient, i’m sure he’s trying his best” Flynn adds about y/n just before they were interrupted by y/n opening the garage door. Y/n could definitely feel a tense aura in the garage as he returned with a bag full of ice cream. Luke stood up quickly, staring at y/n.

“Uhh guys? All I did was leave to get ice cream… Did I do something wrong? I-” y/n spoke in confusion and was almost a little scared as to why everyone was staring at him. Though his words were interrupted by Luke's embrace. “I’m. So. Sorry y/n” Luke spoke which made y/n’s eyebrows furrow as he looked beyond Luke's shoulder towards Julie, Julie mouthed an apology and y/n instantly understood what was going on. y/n started to crumble a little in Luke's arms, but Luke tightened his grip as he noticed y/n soften. “I should’ve known you guys would find out eventually.” y/n gave an uncertainly reassuring look towards Reggie and Alex who had shied away out of concern. Though y/n did glare at Julie and Flynn for a split moment as it wasn’t in their rights to tell his story. They knew this but they couldn’t help it. The boys were very persuasive.

y/n sighed a little as Luke pulled away slightly. “So how about we have those ice creams huh?” Luke spoke as his mood instantly changed to a more positive and bright version of himself. This caught y/n off guard as he couldn’t help but muster a small chuckle for the first time. Everyone looked at y/n with a warm and soft smile, realising that maybe not addressing it in a serious matter is what y/n needs. He just needs people to be happy to be around him. And so with that, they all took their respective ice creams and they gossiped the rest of the day away now that they were all closer than ever.

No one will ever know how it felt to be y/n and go through what y/n experienced and they were okay with that, all they could do is guide him onto a new path, a better one, with all of them.

Ahhh! Thank you for reading this! It was a difficult one to write icl however I enjoyed it thoroughly! Ik it was a heavy one and I hope you enjoyed it! But don’t worry there will be lighter more wholesome stuff in the future for those who’d prefer that!

It was the beginning of summer, Julie and her band were feeling the full force of the sun. The boys were in the garage almost rotting on the couches or any surface their clothes could latch onto with the sweat. All of a sudden the garage doors open “Hey Boys!” a voice called out as a particularly short girl entered, This was Julie. “I’ve got a little gift for you guys” she grins widely as she reveals from her back three small electronic fans that the boys could use for themselves. The boys practically jump from their spots towards Julie. “Oh my god you’re a life saver… i feel like i’m dying out here” Alex wined which was valid, the sun had no cool breeze to counteract it so the fact she gave them fans was heaven sent. “Meh you can thank me later” Julie states acting like she was doing some charity work for the poor boys. “Oh also! I Flynn and y/n are coming here with me once we all finish school.” Julie adds with a little grin as Luke's attention switches from his mini fan to Julie mentioning her friends. “Oh really? Sick! We can show them that new song we’ve been working from” Luke says before Reggie talks over him “If! You can actually finish writing the lyrics… I still think my country music would be big around here…” Reggie spoke which provoked eye rolls from the others in unison as Luke followed up with “For the last time ‘Home is Where My horse is’ will not be one of our songs!” he wined a little though he had a little grin on his face. “Anyways!” Julie interrupts, “I need to get going now, so I'll see you guys after school” She said her goodbyes as she scurried off as to not be late for school.

This left the boys in the garage the whole day to finish writing their new song. Obviously Luke would work on it with Julie, but with Julie being busy he had to confide in his friends to help. Though they weren’t that productive. Half the time Reggie sat there with the fan directly near his face with his tongue out like some sort of dog and Alex had passed out on the sofa. “So much for getting this song done” Luke mumbled under his breath whilst shaking his head, a small sigh followed afterwards as he closed his book which he wrote lyrics in. What the boys didn’t know was that the fans were battery powered…

Meanwhile, Julie was in school sitting in her final class of the day; Music. The class she had worked so hard to get back into thanks to the boys. Accompanying her was Flynn and y/n, they were all sat at the back not paying attention to the teacher yapping on about music theory. “Hey guys… you’re coming to mine after class to see the work me and the boys have done.” Julie whispered not even asking if they wanted to come or not. y/n had a surprised expression on his face as he rubbed the back of his head. “Are you sure that's okay?…” y/n asked with uncertainty. “Well duhh why wouldn’t it be?” Flynn chimed in just before the teacher caught attention of their antics and quickly hushed them. They all mouthed sorry before going back to their conversation more discretely. The reason y/n was uncertain of going to Julies was because of the boys, well more specifically, Luke. To him, Luke was like the embodiment of your classic youthful 90’s band kid, and lets not get him started on those damn eyes. They have spoken a few times, though the conversations were one sided, mostly Luke carrying the conversations and y/n just quietly adding his input when necessary. Despite this, Luke still seemed to keep talking to y/n whenever they’d see each other, it confused y/n a lot. Like why would someone as perfect as Luke be talking to the socially awkward kid who would rather have his head in a book than to be at parties or concerts. Despite that, you loved the music Julie and the Phantoms produced. y/n’s train of thought was broken by the loud ringing bell which ended their last lesson for the day. “C’mon guys lets go! I’ll get us ice cream on the way back!” Julie made a convincing offer for y/n. After all, who doesn’t want ice cream on a day like this?

As y/n, Julie and Flynn returned back to Julie and the boys garage, you could hear a groan coming from one of the boys as they all entered. “Julie! The fan stopped working!” Luke wines as he starts to manually fan himself. The battery in his fan must’ve died whilst they were gone. “I swear it's getting hotter” Before y/n and the girls could even say hello, Luke was already taking off his signature tank top leaving him rather revealed. “Well so much for the welcome home guys!” Julie states sarcastically as she budges Alex to wake him up and move him for space on the sofa to sit. Flynn followed and so did y/n, but in a more timid fashion. Having seen Luke take his shirt off left you rather flustered and embarrassed, his upper body was just how you imagined it, slim yet built, the sweat dripped off almost too perfectly like from a movie. “Oh hey y/n!” Luke yelled cheerfully, a different demeanour from his winey remarks about the heat earlier. “Uhh… hey…” you responded without even looking at the boy who greeted you, your eyes were basically plastered to the floor. “Uhh what about me? I’m here too y’know!” Flynn joked pretending to be offended, but she wasn’t complaining, she got to see the eye candy that was the boys.

Luke noticed your reserved nature, he knew you were shy, but this seemed to be on a whole new level. He stood up and walked over to the couch where you and the girls were sitting and before he could get a word in, y/n had left the garage sitting behind the door. “Uhh… whats up with him… did i do something wrong-” Luke spoke to the two girls with a seemingly upset look in his eyes, the kind that a sad puppy would make, luckily you couldn’t see it otherwise you would melt not just because of the heat, but because of him. “It's probably because you’re shirtless” Julie jokingly states to Luke though there was a tone of meaning behind it. Luke thought for a moment before a small smirk creeped up onto his face as he put his shirt back on. He wanted to learn whether him being shirtless was making y/n uncomfortable or embarrassed.

After a moment you returned into the garage with an apologetic look on your face. “Sorry i had to take a phone call” You lied, which the others noticed instantly but said nothing. Though despite this y/n seemed rather relieved now that Luke had put his shirt back on. Little did he know that this was a trap for y/n. “Man! Putting this shirt back on was a big mistake” Luke's acting could do with some work, but with that, he took his shirt off yet again, making direct eye contact with you. You cover your face as it is going beetroot red, but not from the heat, but from the fact you had been fooled once again. This was all Luke needed to understand what was going on. Julie, Flynn and the other boys had a collective consensus of what was about to happen, some of them thinking ‘Finally’ as they had been waiting for someone to make the move between Luke and y/n. “y/n… can i talk to you for a sec… alone” Luke seemed rather calm, you could tell there was care in his voice by the way he spoke to you. You just nod your head in silence, hanging your head low as you both walked out of the garage. Once they were out of the garage Luke's smile softened “hey look at me…” He spoke as y/n does what he is told, taking his hands from his face and looking into Lukes eyes… those damn puppy eyes he can never seem to escape from. “Wh-what is it you’re wanting to talk about-” y/n’s question was interfered with by a quick kiss on the lips from Luke, it left y/n speechless whilst Luke seemed proud of himself, a little smirk forming from the sides of his mouth. “So me being shirtless WAS the reason why you were avoiding me… i was getting worried y’know” Luke spoke so casually yet with concern. “I- yeah… sorry…” y/n apologised as he hung his head low again though Luke wasn’t having any of it. With one hand Luke grabbed y/n’s hand and placed it on Luke's chest, and with his other hand, he lifted y/n’s head up gently so their eyes met. This caught y/n by surprise hesitantly trying to pull away the hand Luke was using to tease him with and just before Luke could pull y/n in for another kiss.

“Boys! Come back in! My dad made us pizza!” Julie yelled before peaking her head through the garage door, causing you and Luke to quickly take your hands off each other. “Yes! I’ll be right there!” y/n spoke using this as his chance to escape before being briefly stopped by Luke. “Well this is an interesting little relationship we have” he teased a little as you grew flustered yet again, Luke really knows how to say and do the right things to rub off on y/n. “Yeah yeah whatever you say” You quickly respond in a rushed manner, not denying their relationship. And with that you escaped thanks to Julie… and pizza. The pizza was y/n’s favourite, though he didn’t eat much of it being conscious of his eating habits, he still enjoyed it nonetheless. Though another slice appeared in front of you from a concerned Luke. “You should eat some more, we shouldn’t let Julie's dads food go to waste now?” Luke spoke encouragingly. “After all… if you aren’t quick Reggie will eat them all” Both y/n and Luke pan over to Reggie with his mouth full trying to mouth off some words though they were incomprehensible. Y/n couldn’t help but laugh at the joke Luke made and Reggie's clearly offended face.

Looking at Luke seemed to be a lot easier now, you didn’t mind looking into those traps of an orbs called eyes he has anymore. They were comforting and reassuring, you took the slice despite your insecurities and ate it. You were still hungry, you just didn’t want to gain too much weight from the food. “This is so good!” y/n commented on the pizza as it somehow just gets better with each bite. Not long after, you had all finished food and Luke was sitting near you on the sofa. “Soooo… what does that make us now?” Luke spoke, though y/n could never get used to his shirtless upper body. He gave himself into Luke's eyes instead. “I don’t know what you mean” y/n retorts shyly, not wanting to give in so easily so he acted clueless. “Awh c’mon y/n! You know I like you…” He pouts which made y/n’s heart skip a beat, though damn puppy dog eyes left him enthralled yet also… confused? “Huh? What do you mean you like me?” he asked in his baffled state which made Luke's heart sink a little as if noticing he just outed himself thinking y/n already knew about his infatuation for him.

“Was it not obvious?” Alex chimed in from behind his drumset, seemingly amused with their conversation. “I’ve never seen Luke gay panic over a guy like you before” He adds onto his previous statement which followed a glare from Luke, taking the hint then retorting to his drumsticks. “Is… what he said true…” y/n asked, seeming in awe with the situation he was in. All this time y/n thought he was just being teased and messed around with by Luke, though for the most part it's not wrong, but he never thought to ask why. “Well what can I say… i’m quite the romantic” Luke spoke as his glare to Alex turned into a soft gaze when he looked at you, despite his soft-joke. y/n lightly slaps Luke's shoulder as he turns a light shade of red sort of letting out his embarrassment onto his bare shoulder. “Well you’re stupid for thinking bullying me would get that hint across” y/n exaggerated how Luke had been treating him over the past few months. “Well then… if I'm gonna be stupid… Can I at least be your stupid boy?” Luke spoke out loud as the most cheesy, cringe worth sentence had just filled the room.

“If you insist…” y/n accepted it, crumbling into Luke's side from embarrassment, his arm now wrapped over the back of y/n. “Get a room you two” Flynn replied rolling her eyes before dragging y/n off of Luke so that you could head home together. “I’ll see you soon?” you bravely asked Luke as he responded “yeah, in a while rosey” Luke finished, giving y/ the nickname rosey in reference to how red his cheeks get when flustered. And with that, its safe to say what y/n and luke have now are more than just friends.

Your Own Melody - Luke x Singer!Reader

This is an extended version of the oneshot I made out of a whim, I suddenly have the urge to turn it into a fully fledged piece of writing. This will be written with Gender Neutral terms in mind so all audiences can enjoy! I hope you like it as this is my first piece like this.

Link to the oneshot

Note: this takes place in a time just after their big performance at the Orpheum and their curse had been uplifted. I’ve taken this uplifted curse as a revival, since Julie could come in contact with them I figured it would be sweet to say they’re finally and literally alive again. This also has short flashbacks in it to add to the story they’re typed in italics from now on.

Please enjoy!

Ever since Julie’s performance at the Orpheum you couldn’t help but recite the lyrics whimsically on a day-to-day basis, it practically plagued your mind but in the best way possible. You have known Julie for a few years now, Flynn included, so you were there through all her struggles with playing music as well as her mothers bereavement. You knew her mother for a brief moment in time, she encouraged you to take up singing, though you always admit Julie was WAY better than you. However, since you grew up by Julie's side, you also learned about this ghost band pretty quickly. You never really believed the whole hologram shtick Julie had put on, but out of respect for her you didn’t pry at it. And now you’re suddenly able to speak to them, feel their touch and most of all see them! It was surreal, your first time actually seeing them properly.

Now you found yourself at an after party. It took a few days after their big performance to hold one as they were coming to terms with their whole ‘Revival’ thing, but they were stoked to say the least.

“This party is gonna be the best one yet!” Luke chimed in with his trademark energetic energy that could make anyone feel drawn to him and energised. The band was setting up little party decorations for the celebration of their big day at the Orpheum, you and Julie were sitting on the couch mumbling to each other.

“Don’t you find it weird that we can SEE them now” You spoke to Julie a little dumbfounded by all of this, seeming to be in awe as you watched all the boys set up their decorations. Watching Alex prevent Reggie from putting up some sort of country musician poster up in the background, you could help but chuckle at Reggies love for country music.

“Well that's what I thought at first… but you’ll get used to it” Julie spoke back to you calmly, not seeming to be alarmed by the not-so-ghostly band. You had forgotten at that moment that Julie has been able to see them all this time, ever since she played that Sunset swerve- i mean- curve demo album.

“Oh yeah” You couldn’t help but chuckle at your stupidity as you remembered that fact. “Now I understand why you keep them around… they are a lively bunch” You add as you speak to Juile, watching as Alex and Reggie fight over the Cowboy poster for what feels like an hour.

“Hey guys! Just put the poster away” Luke chimed in with his usual puppy dog eyes. Now you understood what Julie meant when she spoke about his eyes, they were cute, charming even. You were enthralled in that moment. It was such a small brief moment, but it felt like minutes went by before Julie spoke.

“Uhhh earth to y/n? You alive there?” Julie waved her hand in-front of your face, snapping you back to reality as a wave of blood started to race through you, you began to get flustered. “Huh?! Yeah- yeah i’m good” you acknowledged her in that moment as your face grew red. She couldn’t help but smirk as she looked between you and Luke.

“Looks like someones got the hots for-” Julie was loudly interrupted by you bursting into frantics “I DO NOT” you yelled defensively which definitely caught all the boys attention as well as Flynn’s who had just walked into pure silence.

“Uhh what did I just miss? I always miss all the good stuff” Flynn whines as she waves towards all the boys, then moving to the couch to sit next to Julie, Julie was sitting in between the two of you now.

“You missed nothing-” you spoke as you were able to eventually calm yourself down, Flynn brushed it off as she had more important matters to attend to, talking to Julie about future plans for the band. This leads to you sitting there listening to their conversation.

“Are you sure it was just nothing? It most definitely sounds like something” Luke spoke from behind the piano, putting some fresh flowers on top of it in memory of Julie's mother. It was a sweet gesture, if not for your allergies. Luke was known for his curiosity, and was not one to give up on figuring it out unlike Flynn.

Luke speaking caught your attention, you were uncertain of what to say, after all you couldn’t admit that you found him hot that would just be… weird! After all you’re under the impression he likes Julie anyways, so you weren’t going to impose on that. “Yep! Most definitely nothing” You responded with most certainty, but your eyebrow does this little twitch whenever you lie. Something that over your time with the band, even though you couldn’t see them, it was something they could see and pick up on over the time.

“Awh c’mon y/n you know I hate secrets!” And there it was, Those damned puppy dog eyes. Those eyes were like traps you swear, you couldn’t do anything but avert your eyes. The other boys had eventually stopped fighting over that poster, but they were now mumbling to each other about you and Luke.

“Hey y/n! Don’t you have some food you need to pick up for tonight's party?” Alex chimed in, in support of you and you mentally thanked him for changing the subject. “Yes!” you shot up from the couch to quickly make your way to the garage door Flynn had entered through earlier. “I’ll see you all tonight!” you left abruptly.

“What's up with them?” Reggie asked, clueless as always as Luke was just as clueless. Julie couldn’t help but laugh and shake her head at the boy's idiotic nature.

As time passed you grew more and more nervous for this party, you were planning on staying the night too, crashing on the couch once it was all over which the other boys had no problem with. The more the merrier they would say. Alex wasn’t wrong when he said you had to pick up some food, just some light cheap party snacks as well as some red solo cups for drinking. Reggie had promised you a game of beer pong because you had never played it before.

You were mostly nervous because you had made a promise.

“If you guys even successfully perform at the Orpheum I may consider singing a song at the after party” You said to them half-jokingly as you shook your head. The boys however, took it very seriously and they were excited to hear you play. Since hearing you speak to Julie about how you used to sing, whenever they’d perform in the garage during the instrumentals they’d try to convince you to sing for them, to which you’d deny every single time until you gave up and made that promise.

And that promise still haunts you now, knowing that they’ve not only performed at the Orpheum, but absolutely crushed it! They wanted to hear the real you on stage- well in the garage, the one you can’t hide in the shadows. Just like Julie, after her mothers bereavement you also stopped singing, though unlike Julie you hadn’t had the ghost band to wake you up and bring you out of the dark… until now. Those damn boys were going to be the death of you someday, which was really ironic.

After picking up all the junk food and snacks every teenager would hunger over you headed back to the garage. You could hear music playing and you presumed the party had already started, the party was a small event, only you, The band and a few of Julie's friends and past acquaintances, the likes of Nick and Carrie for example, though they didn’t stay long. But let's not also forget Alex’s ghostly Boyfriend Willie. As you entered the garage you were greeted by everyone yelling your name.

“y/n!” They all yelled happily knowing you had made it to the party, though part of you thought it was mostly because you were bringing the food, boxes of pizza and bog standard party snacks. You greeted everyone back, you and Willie had your own little handshake you’ve practiced from time to time. You place the food on a table at the side of the garage so people could help themselves to the divine delicacies you provided.

“Thank you y/n, for bringing the food, it means a lot” Luke came up to you as you exhaustedly sat down on the couch, that couch might as well be your best friend at the moment, the only thing that isn’t making you nervous. “It’s nothing! After all, it's a special occasion” You spoke like it was nothing, just a small gesture for a big moment for the band.

“If you say so” Luke smiled warmly at you, you could tell that everyone was grateful for what you provided for the band. “Don’t forget the promise you made to us!” A wild Reggie yells with his mouth full of pizza, this boy couldn’t be anymore childish as he shoved food in his face like he hadn’t eaten in decades, which coming to think of it… wasn’t entirely wrong?

“I won't forget the promise if you wipe the grease from your face” You rolled your eyes at the boy as you couldn’t help but chuckle, Reggie was quite the character. He always made you laugh, he was like a younger brother to you.

“Hey guys! Are you ready?” Alex called out to the rest of the boys and Julie, they were going to perform a few songs for the party, but after the first song it was going to be your turn to sing. They performed their victory song which they performed at the Orpheum. You loved that song, but it felt different this time, with the looming upcoming performance you knew you had to do everything was overwhelming you… the music overstimulated you.

So with that you left during the band's performance, Luke tried to shoot you a concerned look but you were too focused on calming yourself down. You had crouched yourself down, your back facing the garage door outside of all the ruckus. It wasn’t long until that song had subsided and someone followed you out.

“I know you’re behind me” you spoke with your head in your knees, you were mumbling though and it was obvious something was bothering you.

“How- How did you know?-” The guitarist was dumbfounded that you noticed him without even turning around, from the sounds if it, Luke had forgotten you could at least hear footsteps but also;

“I can sense those cute puppy dog eyes from a mile away” You spoke without thinking, you were too busy sulking and worrying about performing to even notice you called him cute! Like what were you thinking? nothing from what I can tell.

“You think I'm cute?” Luke looked at you from behind with a tilted head, pointing to himself with confusion but also a level of blush on his face. He wasn’t expecting that sort of response from you, in-fact he was anticipating some sort of roast or a ‘Get Away!’ as you like to deal with your problems alone. Your head flips to Luke instantly seeing his confused yet flustered face, you were crouched there in silence for a long moment.

“. . . No Comment” you didn’t want to deny it anymore than you already did, after all you dug yourself into this hole and built this wall brick by brick, so you might as well accept it. Luke moved up to you and sat beside you with a little smug smirk on his face, seemingly proud that he was able to get through to you for once. You are a stubborn cookie after all.

“Well this is a strange little relationship we have” The guitarist spoke to you whilst looking up at the sky. Seemingly leaning in shoulder-to-shoulder with you.

“Yeah of course it’s strange, you have Julie and now I'm here calling you cute! This isn’t what a good friend should be saying-” You had started to spiral a little as you tighten your grip around your knees. All this time you didn’t want to intervene with whatever Luke and Julie had going on. After all, they looked perfect together, they were like the power couple of the century, well so you believed. Though within all this manic episode Luke had cut in seemingly confused.

“What do you mean, I have Julie?” Luke now had a hold of your shoulder, concerned for your little anxiety attack you were having outside of the garage. The summer sun had just fully set into night time as the moon started to show. You looked at him with tears filling your eyes.

“You and Julie are dating aren’t you?” you spoke as you could feel your throat clogging up. Luke wasn’t the best with comforting people who were upset though it all made sense to him now, he understood why you were upset, you loved him. You have loved him since the day you first laid eyes on him, he was so handsome in his sleeveless shirts and not to mention the sweat dripping from him when he performs so passionately, it worked wonders for you.

“What?” He couldn’t help but laugh a little at this moment, it was an awkward laugh, but a laugh nonetheless. “Me and Julie aren’t dating y/n” He spoke and now your worry changed to confusion and mixed feelings, you looked at him with tears falling from your eyes. In that moment he had pulled you into a hug. “In fact, I like someone else, not Julie” He spoke softly whilst in this embrace.

“Is it Reggie?” Your stupid ass blurted out which led you both bursting into laughter. “Yeah those crooked teeth really do something for me” Luke joked sarcastically which was followed by a voice in the garage. “HEY I HEARD THAT” Reggie yelled from inside, that man's hearing must be supernatural or something. You and Luke sat there for a moment in each other's arms.

“So if it's not Reggie then who is it?” You asked as if it couldn’t be more obvious who Lukes puppy dog eyes were mostly for. But as he was about to tell you who it was Alex’s head appeared from behind the garage door.

“Hey y/n! You’re up, it’s time to sing like you promised” Alex intruded happily in an excited manner. He couldn’t wait to hear you sing, so couldn’t anyone else, Especially Luke.

“Yeah yeah i’ll be there in a second” by now you and Luke had left each other's arms after hearing Alex’s voice. Despite everything being almost cleared up you still seemed nervous and Luke could see that.

“Are you… nervous to sing?” Luke asked with a small tilt in his head to which you returned with a silent timid nod in response.

“Ever since Julie's mom died… I developed stage fright.” You spoke honestly, pouring your heart out to Luke. Luke had realised that it wasn’t only Julie that needed help overcoming this, but you too. “She was the one who encouraged me to follow my dreams… she taught me how to sing, how to write music- heck she even taught me how to shred on the guitar” Luke blinked a few times having no idea you could play the guitar. He was shocked, but that wasn’t his main focus at the moment.

“But don’t you see all the people in there who want you to follow your dreams?” He asked pulling your head up so your eyes met, they were only inches away as you were both still sitting. “Reggie, Alex, Julie… they all want you to be happy and sing your heart out… I want you to be happy, you’ve got this!” This wasn’t like any of Luke's pep talks before, it felt warm and comforting, like it's own little melody just for the two of you, no one else. He moved in to kiss you quickly on the forehead before standing up, taking your hand and lifting you up too. “You can do this y/n”

You were in shock, your crush just gave the most gut wrenching pep-talk ever and now you’re expected to perform after all that! Though… you didn’t feel nervous anymore. “Yeah! I’ve got this” A fire lit up in your eyes as you both made it back into the Garage where everyone awaited your return, to sing a song everyone will most definitely remember for the rest of time.

Ahhhh! Thank you for reading my first fully written x reader work! I’m not sure if I will continue to do lengthy ones like these although i’m sure you have read longer ones lol. Let me know if you liked it! And maybe i’ll publish some more :)

[sunset-swerve1995]

Pov: you’re a new addition to the band and you’re reading through all the songs written in Luke’s book.

Y/n: “home is where my Horse is?”

Luke: “Reggie! What have I told you about putting your country music in my book!”

Reggie: “Hey! Thats a GOOD song right there! I was hoping to make it big with that”

Y/n: “oh is that what the banjo was for…”

Reggie: “WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BANJO?!”

After accidentally selling his banjo, as per request of Julies dad, you had to make it up to Reggie. So you went on a little pizza date and a walk along the beach. Passing his parent’s house that was now a bike shop, you treat him to some ice cream. He forgave you eventually after all his sulking.

[sunset-swerve1995]

Pov: You’re one of Julie’s closest friends and you were having a party in the Garage with the band. But the noise was getting too much for you so you step outside for some space.

Y/n: “I know you’re behind me”

Luke: “how- how did you know?” *Dumbfounded*

Y/n: “I can sense those cute puppy dog eyes from a mile away”

Luke: “you think i’m cute?”

Y/n: “. . . No comment”

Luke would then proceed to talk your ear off and tease you for calling him cute, making the party more enjoyable for your sensitive ears. After all you could listen and speak to Luke for ages like your own little, yet perfect, harmony.

Pov: you’re chilling at the beach with your friends having a few drinks, but a dork seems to be staring at you… you find it creepy.

Y/n: “Am I gonna have to call the police-“

Reggie: “NO DON’T!-” *panics and spills his drink over y/n*

Reggie: “looks like I made you wet” *Flirtatiously*

Y/n: “Never say that again-“

Reggie: “y-yes sir!”
