Hi!!

Can you write about being Kirk’s gf maybe during AJFA era, they’re recording and she just had such a shit day, so she ends up going to the recording studio late at night, and James finds her and brings her to Kirk. She ends up confessing how she’s been feeling insecure and he comforts her? Just some good old fluff 🫶

Thank you 🙏

A/n:Hello! Ofc, this is such a cute concept! I'd like to remind you all that English isn't my first language, so that may be mistakes

Warnings: pet names(sweetheart), sexual implications by other people but nothing happens, swearing? And I think that's it, please tell me if there's anything more to point out

Everything has been going wrong today, from when you woke up and realized your walkman didn't had charged to now that all your groceries fell to the ground.

After you picked everything up and put it all in your car you got on the driver's seat and took a deep breath, resting your forehead on the steering wheel, tears started flooding your eyes but you wiped them very quickly when they rolled down your cheeks.

You thought maybe it would get better and as soon as the idea of starting the car appeared on your head someone tapped the glass of your window. You looked up to see a tall blonde man, realizing it's James you open the door and step outside.

"W-what are you doing here!?" You asked a bit startled at how suddenly he appeared.

"I mean, I was just passing by to get a pack of cigs and go back to the studio walking... And for a big coincidence I saw you and— are you okay?"

The tears go back to your eyes when you realize you hadn't called Kirk all day, all because you've been so immersed on how awful your day has been.

"no, I'm okay... Promise.... Want a ride to the studio?" You ask feigning a smile and pointing at the car with your head

James smiles at you sympathetically and gives a quick nod. You both get in the car and you turn on the radio, "N.I.B" by Black Sabbath plays on a low volume as you hum along the song.

After less than ten minutes you get to the studio, parking the car in front of it at the same time "mr.brownstone" by Guns N Roses finishes. You turn off the car and look at James, now more at peace knowing it might all get better when you get with the boys.

They are fun, you have to admit it, makes your day brighter

"here we are, might as well get going, right?"

James nods and you both get out the car and enter the studio. As you and the blonde get closer to the room you can hear the faint sound of someone arguing, you gulp audibly and take a deep breath again.

When the two of you get in the right room Kirk and Lars turn to look as Jason is absent on the scene

"well, look who the cat dragged in"

Kirk teases and walks to you, then he presses a kiss to your temple and you can hear both the other boys making gagging noises.

Kirk seems to notice the dry tears on your cheeks as he whispers a "you okay?" Next to you. You shake your head in a "more or less" kind of thing

"I'll be back"

Kirk announces and takes your hand on his, you can hear a "make sure to fuck quietly, we don't want to hear it" coming from Lars and a slap coming from what you assume is James hitting Lars, Kirk flips him off and starts guiding you down the hall and into a separated room.

"so? What happened, sweetheart? Bad day?"

he asks, sitting down with you on the couch and wrapping his arms around you. He rubs your back soothingly and tears start to fall again as you nod

"everything I've done today has been shit and I can't stand this anymore... I'm sorry I didn't call"

"no don't be sorry, the phone was off the hook anyway... Not because of you, because we didn't want any distractions and—"

You giggle a bit at his awkwardness, resting your head on his shoulder

"it's okay, I know it wasn't because of me... I would be surprised if James keept the phone on the hook"

He let's put a breathy laugh, holding you close to him, the moment is sweet, just resting next to each other

"thank you" You say lowly, Kirk looks at you with a raised eyebrow "for being here with me.... I love you"

Kirk's heart melts a little and he pecks your lips sweetly

"it's nothing... I love you too"

So this is kinda shit, just like readers day but you'll have to bate with it
