#it was soooooo badly run. it's so hard to get a second job as a manager bc we know our rights better than high school/college students

[sonsband]

I had a supervisor who, during my interview, gave me the specific outlines for their plans around harassment by guests at the workplace and I'm bummed that job and the managers sucked so much because he was a great guy

Happy | Shawn Mendes Fluff

Hi everyone, I haven’t written any fanfiction is soooooo long (like 3 years ago). I used to be under my personal name on here, but I did change to maybiemendes recently. I’ve wanted to get back into writing for a while, but I was very nervous to come back. I love some many of the Shawn accounts on here, so I hope that you all will love this. I apologize for any grammar issues, I tried to find any errors, but let me know if I forgot any.  Feedback is always greatly appreciated! ENJOY!

Pairing: Shawn Mendes x Y/N 

Word Count: 1,700+ 

Warnings: none

Shawn’s heart pounded as he ran off stage. He saw her in the crowd, right next to his sister. Clearly they had pulled off some kind of plan to surprise him. Shawn hands off his guitar and removes his in-ears quickly, not even hearing the cheers of his crew. He is running to the backstage entrance where he knows his sister will enter from. After she shows her backstage pass to the guards, she walks through the door to see Shawn standing in front of her, blocking her path. Shawn looks around her for Y/N. He is panting and frantically waiting for her to come backstage.

“Where is she?”

Aaliyah looks confused and then chuckles to herself. “Who are you talking about?”

“Y/N, I saw her with you in the crowd. I know I saw her, so where is she?” Shawn can barely contain his excitement.

“Y/N? You must have been hallucinating, Shawn. Y/N isn’t here,” she says trying to tease her brother. She walks around him and starts down the hall before he can question her again.

Shawn hasn’t seen Y/N in 5 months. Right before his European Tour started, Y/N got a fellowship offer that she had been waiting months for. She only had a week before she needed to leave for the job in Boston. Shawn knew that this fellowship was important to her, so of course he encouraged her to take it. This only meant that she was leaving 4 weeks earlier than he was schedule to leave for tour. He also had several rounds of promo tours before his official tour started. Needless to say, they both became too busy to visit each other.

Shawn continues to wait at the backstage entrance for another 10 minutes hoping that she will walk in. It is only when the sound techs, that were at the sound booth in the audience, walk through that Shawn decides he might have been hallucinating. Usually the sound techs are the last ones that come backstage after the show, so if Y/N hadn’t come backstage by now, she probably wasn’t here. Slowly, Shawn walks back to his dressing room, sad and disappointed that his girl wasn’t here with him.

He enters the room and sees Aaliyah, Manny and Karen on the couch. On the other side of the room, sporadically placed is Brian, Matt, Mike, Zubin, Josiah, Teddy and Andrew. The exhaustion starts to seep in. Shawn plops down on the couch, leans his head back, and shuts his eyes.

“The show was amazing tonight. The audience really seemed to go hard on Mutual. I could barely hear Shawn singing,” Mike says to Shawn. Everyone in the room notices that Shawn seems off. They all know that he is tired after every show, but this time it’s more noticable. It almost looks like Shawn passed out once he hit the couch. His mother starts rubbing his shoulder to see if he is okay.

“Shawn, are you feeling alright?” Karen asks.

He doesn’t even open his eyes. He only nods and mumbles, “I miss her.” Everyone in the room feels the waves of sadness come off of Shawn. They know it was a good show, and Shawn knows that too. He just wants to hold his girlfriend again. It’s been too long without her.

As the night went on, and the set was packed up, Shawn showered in his dressing room, and headed back to the tour bus. Once everyone was back on the bus, they begin the ride to the next city. He practically stumbles to the back of the bus where his bed is. However, he notices that the door is cracked open. Shawn takes a moment to remember the nights when he would come home to Y/N and the bedroom door would be cracked open, almost as if to lure him in. Shawn thinks back to this morning and remembers that he shut the door completely before going into the arena for the rest of the day. So, why is it open? Pushing the door fully open and reaches for the light switch on the wall. The dull lights turn on and Shawn almost screams when he sees someone is in his bed.

“What the fu-” he starts. The body in his bed starts moving and a head pops up. It only takes Shawn about 2 seconds to realize it’s Y/N. He starts to stutter, “Baby?”

She sits up and rubs the sleep out of her eyes, “Hi, honey.”

Shawn immediately jumps in the bed and tackles her so he is laying on top of her. His face is buried in her neck and his arms wrap around her torso, which is quite hard since she is still under the sheets. She can hear him mumbling against her neck,  “I knew it. I knew you were at the show. Oh my god…” He lifts his head out of her neck to just look at her, praying that he isn’t imagining her. He just whispers, “hi.”

“Hi,” Y/N says. She chuckles a bit and grabs his face to pull him in. They share a long kiss before Shawn pulls away and starts to kiss her face repeatedly. She starts to laugh as his stubble tickles her face. “I missed you too,” she says in between his neverending kisses. He lands another kiss on her lips, this time showing all of this love and affection for her.

“I can’t believe you are actually here,” he smiles and continues to kiss her. Neither of them had heard the footsteps coming up to his room. Brian and Josiah let out a laugh once they saw Shawn had tackled you. Shawn’s head whipped around when he heard them, “you knew about this, didn’t you!”

They only laugh more, “of course we did,” Brian says.

Josiah pipes up, “we could listen to you complain about how much you miss Y/N any more.”

Shawn leaps up to shut the door, blocking them out of their room. He tears off his boots, then sheds down to nothing but his boxers and switches the light off. Climbing into bed with Y/N, he can’t help but get a little emotional that she is finally with him again. She pulls Shawn into her chest knowing that’s what he wants right now. He is trying not to be needy but he control it anymore. He lets out a few tears of happiness and she immediately wipes them away.

“I never want to be away from you for that long again. Five months is too long, I honestly don’t think that I could handle that again,” Shawn says quietly. “I missed you so much that I was ready to ditch the last few shows and fly directly to you.”

“I know baby, I had to stop myself almost every week from boarding a plane to come see you, even if it was only for a few hours. FaceTime isn’t enough sometimes.”

“I hope you know that you're not leaving anytime soon. I am not letting you out of my sight for a while,” he chuckles.

“Well what if I was back home in Toronto instead of Boston?”

His breath hitches, “what do you mean? I thought the fellowship was going to be longer than this.”

Her fingers slightly tug on his hair, knowing he doesn’t mind it. “I may or may not have finished early.”

His head darts up to look at her, “so does that mean you are-”

“Done,” she cuts him off. “Yes, I am done with the fellowship. I got offered a full time Lead Administrator position at Toronto General Hospital.” She stops as she notices how big his smile has become. “I only needed that fellowship as a requirement and once they saw how good I was doing, they called last week to set up an interview. They called me the next day and said I got the job.”

Shawn starts rambling, “I am so happy right now you have no idea. I promise I will be home more often. I am talking to Andrew in the morning about taking more time off just so I can see you for longer than a week at a time-”

Y/N leans up to kiss him, interrupting his ramble. She pulls away and sighs, “I love you.”

“I mean it,” Shawn says. “This time away from you really showed me how much I need you. I will never spend that much time away from you again.”

“I know, I missed you so much it’s unbelievable. But I am here now and I don’t have to be back in Toronto until after you’re done with this leg of the tour.” Y/N smiles as she tells Shawn that last bit.

Shawn beams down at her, “oh my god.” He shushes his face into her neck, kissing and slightly sucking on the skin.

Y/N hums at the feeling, she pulls Shawn’s face out of her neck knowing that he might get too carried away. She is cautious that the others on the bus might hear them.

“Shawn...Baby...as much as I want to be with you in that way right now. We should wait until we get to the hotel tomorrow. I know you’re exhausted from the show.”

Shawn lets out a huff, knowing she’s right. “Ughhhhh, but I want you,” he says.

“Trust me, the feeling is mutual but I would like to not have to be quiet,” Y/N says hinting at him.

Shawn smirks at his girlfriend, who is still beneath him, “you will be the death of me.”

Y/N chuckles, pulling him in for another kiss, “let’s get some sleep, handsome. You have tomorrow off, so we can spend the whole day together.”

Shawn smiles, “I am so happy you are here Y/N. You really have no idea how badly I missed you.”

“I bet I’ll find out tomorrow.”

“Oh, you definitely will,” he says while getting off of her, rolling over to the left side of the bed. He runs a hand through his curls and looks over to her. Once his head finally hit the pillow, a wave of tiredness went over him. Y/N turned her back to him and nudged her way against his chest. His arms wrap around her waist and his legs mingle with hers. “I love you,” he says tiredly.

She turns her head to give him one last kiss before saying, “I love you too.” Within two minutes they are both sound asleep, finally in each other's arms again.
