IN WHICH common sense drops and ricky (accidentally) tells you something important.

WARNINGS swearing

NOTES first of all, this probably isn’t accurate to an artists song being dropped LMAOO i’m just a normal girl pls excuse that. second of all, im sorry for the inconsistent updates! sports were cleared to start in my state so basketball started (then ended after two days) and i also have schoolwork so i’m kinda all over the place. i was also working on another fic so i found myself sort of ignoring this one but i have a lot of plans for it!! so look out for better updates in the future :D also third of all this is cheesy but i always write cheesy stuff

text dividers from @writeyourmindaway !!

“hi baby,” ricky said as you answered his facetime call. common sense was dropping in ten minutes— and he wanted you on the phone with him when it did. you grinned.

“hey! you excited?”

he nodded. “yeah! i’m sorta nervous, though. you can never predict how people are going to react to things like this.”

“i get that,” you said. “but whatever happens, you know you will have people who support you.”

“yeah, for sure,” he said. “and i have you, and that’s all that matters, right?”

you laughed. “of course.”

“come in,” ricky called to someone. you heard his door open and suddenly big red was on your screen.

“(y/n)!” big red cheered when he stole the phone from ricky. you laughed.

“red! how are you?”

“great! excited for ricky’s song, as i assume you are too?” he asked. you nodded.

“very!” you checked the time. “three minutes!”

“big red, give me my phone back,” you heard ricky say.

“no. i want to talk to (y/n) more. she likes me better anyways,” big red said. you laughed.

ricky grabbed his phone back from big red and you watched, amused. he grinned at you when he got his phone back and went to sit back on his bed, where big red plopped down next to him.

“after the song drops, i think i’m going to go live on instagram. get some feedback, yknow?” ricky said. you nodded.

“that’s a good idea. i’ll be sure to join.”

he smiled. “are you going to take your accounts off private? no pressure, just wondering. people are probably going to find them no matter what.”

you considered it for a moment. “yeah, i think so. that way we can interact easier, right?”

“yeah of course!” ricky said. “just be aware that you’re going to get a lot of attention. and not all of its going to be positive— and that’s not your fault.”

“i understand,” you said genuinely. “everyone loved you and nini, and everyone loves you. a new person isn’t going to be everyone’s favorite right away.”

“less than a minute!” big red suddenly exclaimed. ricky’s camera shook as big red stood up on ricky’s bed and started jumping. ricky laughed and told him to calm down, but big red ignored him. you laughed as you watched, but then your alarm for the release of the song went off.

“it’s three!” you exclaimed. big red flopped back down on ricky’s bed and ricky set his phone down so he could grab his laptop. he typed for a moment before ‘common sense’ started playing through the speakers. you listened intently and ricky paused on facetime.

before the song (which you knew was beautiful, but hearing it sung professionally just melted your heart) even ended, your notifications on every social media started blowing up with follow requests. you opened twitter and turned your account to public before checking ricky’s tweet.

your notifications were going crazy, with people stalking all of your social media accounts, curious to learn more about you. suddenly you were overly aware of what people were going to see on your accounts, and the type of things they would say. ricky was one of the current most famous singers— and you were a nobody. yet you were lucky enough to be with someone as amazing as ricky. you were sure if you deserved him.

“(y/n)? you there?” ricky asked. you returned to the facetime and smiled at him.

“yeah, i’m here. just dealing with the social media.”

“understandable,” he said. “how’d you like the song?”

“ricky, you know i loved it!” you said. “you’re insanely talented. i’ll make sure to stream it as much as i can.”

“oh, i seriously love you,” ricky said. your eyes widened and after a moment so did his once he realized what he said. you saw ricky give big red a ‘can-you-leave-look’ and then his door opened and closed. he looked back at the phone with a sheepish smile on his face.

“i didn’t mean to say that now,” he explained. “i... meant it, obviously. i just wanted to wait for when i could say it in person.”

“i love you too, ricky,” you said. “i was waiting for us to be in person to say it, too.”

he grinned. “glad we’re on the same page, then.”

“me too. although,” you said. “in your song you did say ‘i think i love you.’”

“yeah, i was hoping you’d just ignore that until i could say it for real. which, you did to be fair,” he said.

you hummed. “i figured i owed you that much. besides, it’s nice to say it now. i love you.”

“i love youuu,” he dragged out. “i should go, start a live on instagram. you better be there, like you promised.”

“i will be. go have fun.”

“i’ll talk to you later,” he said. “i love you!”

you laughed. “i love you too!”

he ended the call and you sat there, a goofy smile on your face. you were in love— and he loved you back. you genuinely couldn’t be happier. ricky bowen was yours, and solely yours.
